Teenage Immigrant Welfare Mothers on Drugs |
|
In the spirit of contributing to DU's ongoing debate over immigration policy, here are the lyrics to the Austin Lounge Lizards' "Teenage Immigrant Welfare Mothers on Drugs."
Teenage Immigrant Welfare Mothers on Drugs
It's been five years since we had a raise in pay And they disallowed my business lunches today Somebody must have changed the rules of the game So we've found a convenient scapegoat we can blame
It's those teenage immigrant welfare mothers on drugs (They're too lazy to work) Teenage immigrant welfare mothers on drugs (They're stealing our jobs)
Somebody ran this country deep into debt I called up Congress, but nobody's called back yet Sometimes I get so mad I can't think straight We're looking for relief and it feels so great to hate
All those teenage immigrant welfare mothers on drugs (They're on the Dole) Teenage immigrant welfare mothers on drugs (They're speaking espanol)
Who's to blame for the things we're so angry about? Who's to blame for uprisings, downsizings, and the drought? Who's to blame for the end of the good old days? Who's to blame for that backwards-cap-wearing craze?
It's those teenage immigrant welfare mothers on drugs (Let's build a thousand-mile fence) Teenage immigrant welfare mothers on drugs (It's just common sense) Teenage immigrant welfare mothers on drugs (Like the Berlin Wall) Teenage immigrant welfare mothers on drugs (Land mines and all!) Teenage immigrant welfare mothers on drugs

1. "Industrial Strength Tranquilizer" |
|
and "That Godforsaken Hellhole I Call Home" are other favorites of mine.
For those of you who haven't discovered them, they're certainly worth a listen!

Perfectly describes the atmosphere now. It made me want to laugh & cry at the same time. Will we ever learn?
