Bureaucrat's wonderland, admin sensational! Dealing with legions of forms immigrational Fill 'em out, print 'em out, copy each copy Certify, verify, check it's not sloppy Ensure that your mug-shots' dimensions abide By strict regulations, for proof bona fide Designed to deter and deny the defrauder Tho' he is from England, not South of the border Questions for terrorists, questions for spies Questions for arms dealers (unsavoury guys): “Do you like bombs and explosive devices? Do you sell drugs at unbeatable prices? Are you a Communist, socialist ****? Do you intend hiding crack up your butt? Your shotgun's permitted (so long as you've brought her For wasting wild bison and Indian slaughter) Hoping to join the best nation on earth? Show me your balls and certificate of birth (Not just the awesomest, also the wealthiest And if you have money, we're even the healthiest)” Fingerprints, medicals, primary screening Interviews, vaccines and queries (well-meaning) “Tho' thousands of dollars you've paid for this pleasure Now enter and exit our country at leisure”
