What is this life, this total rat race?
We work our butts off for just a taste
Of what just a few get and rub in our face
As they rob us and cheat us of our rightful place
Banks, politicians, public employees…they’re all the same
They take our money but none of the blame
They’re all just liars and totally without shame
“You borrowed too much” is what they claim
As they lined their pockets with private plans
We lost our jobs without helping hands
They sit on the beach enjoying their tans
When what they need is a kick in their cans
Well to all of them, I say this
Here’s an ass you can totally kiss
Those credit card profits you’re going to miss
Those mortgage payments will be past bliss
The taxes you love we’ll no longer pay
Those high interest rates are all past history
Cause here’s what we do, here’s what I say
We’ll cross the Rio and in Mexico stay.
If we all go there, can you imagine the fun?
Immigration won’t know which way to run
Which illegals do they try to stun?
Those coming in or the outgoing ones?
Of course, those coming in get free benefits
Us going out will will enjoy the politics,
Watching the powerful trying to mix
Free illegals who don’t pay for their antics.
It will be an interesting dilemma…
All of us illegals with margaritas
Sitting on the Mexico beaches
Kissing off the powerful leeches
As they figure out how to tax the grass cut
And how many children are just too much
Wondering just what to tax and such
Learning that English is out of touch.
