the State of Arizona has signed a very crazy law
that in the opinion of most Americans has some major flaws
it requires each and every person who trods upon their land
to walk around with proof of citizenship papers in their hands
they say it's not racial profiling, they say it's fair and just
to make an assumption about anyone's immigration status
I don't know, maybe it's me
but doesn't this bill violate our basic civil liberties
Arizona is the only state which wanted no part of that federal determination
that made the birthday of the Rev. Dr. M.L. King a day of national celebration
I don't know about you America but I see the writing on the wall
If we don't stop this Bill the integrity of America will fall
most every person in the United States is a product of immigration
be it first, second, third, fourth or fifth generation
how dare those racists in Arizona try to pass this crazy law
that undermines everything that America stands for
"Give me your tired, your hungry and your poor" are the words on the Statue of Liberty
yet this law that demands proof of status is an Unconstitutional absurdity
the Police in turn won't be able to deal with any real crime
if they're going around asking people for citizenship papers all the time
no warrant is required, just a reasonable suspicion
but who has the wherewithall to determine that decision?
Heaven forbid if they should ever encounter a child
would they say "papers please" with a badge and a smile?
this is some BS, why can't they see that this bill is wrong?
and who in hell gave them the authority to tell people where they belong?
this Bill I call "Papers Please" this Bill we must fight
so that every American will sustain their inalienable rights
for this country to be like South Africa was with its aparthied situation
would be a grievous mistake and a true abomination
"Papers Please" Arizona's Senate Bill 1070 we must defeat
we need to let the State of Arizona know that we will take it to the streets
There are millions of people
trying hard to survive,
from disasters and illness
needing help to stay alive.
Yet here we are complaining
when someone hurts our pride,
and broken hearted lovers
contemplating suicide.
Some people abuse young children
not caring what damage they do,
and the seriousness only hits home
when it's somebody close to you.
Take a look inside a hospital
see the people in dispair,
wanting to live their normal life
but needing our loving care.
It seems our personal problems
have come to make us blind,
but trading places with one of them
would quickly change your mind.
Do you see that child taking care of her own
Trying to do her part
There is a need for acceptance from you and I
If you can’t do that, you have no heart
Do you see that young man walking the street
Looking for a place with some friends to hang
There is a need for acceptance from you and I
If we don’t do that, then he’ll join a gang
Society is to blame for most of our woes
Dividing the people into separated classes
The government enhances the social problems
Creating dependency, enslaving the masses
Education is just part of the key
Empowering the people to exist as one
There is a need for acceptance in one and all
Then many of our problems will become undone
Creating dependency doesn’t fit the bill
A nation enslaved to a government check
A sense of pride in a job well done
Will stop society from its downward trek
We have a responsibility to our fellow man
To all those who struggle to survive each day
To fill the need for acceptance within their hearts
To love and teach them to find their way.
