Todos Somos Ilegales

I dream of fire but I sleep so cold

I raise the red flag on The Alamo

I want to show you how our lives unfold

Deep inside underneath it all

When you eat that salad and put on your shoes

Stare at that screen we're looking out at you

The people who created, modern-day enslavement

"The greatest country!" Its a nation of sadists!

The babies who are buried before they can run

The children whose mothers have never known fun

The daughters whose bodies are sold for crumbs

Risk life and limb, its a planet of slums

Todos somos ilegales, todos somos ilegales

The defiant ones, our time has come

Todos somos ilegales

Fighting for a new way and a new day

Todos somos ilegales

I walk the desert in the dead of night

I crawl through sewers, no clean water in sight

I cross the river to the other side

The American land of parasites

I'm that secret, that dirty little feature

The bones in the closet, lies told by teachers

The food, the clothes, the land, the phones

The buildings where your computers grow

See, that border ain't sacred or chosen

The land we stand on, every inch of it stolen

How obscene that there's people illegal

Vilified survival, the journey is lethal

Todos somos ilegales, todos somos ilegales

The defiant ones, our time has come

Todos somos ilegales

Fighting for a new way and a new day

Todos somos ilegales

No necesito documentos

Mirame a los ojos

Para que leas mi acento

Prohibido como la droga

Ilegal como un nazi

En una sinagoga

Contra indicado

Clandestino

Lo identificable

Lo contamino

Más de siesciento millones de persona

Gritando luz verde

Pa invadir Arizona

No necesito diplomas

Lo que aprendi

Lo vivi y lo almaceno en mis neuronas

Las experiencias

Son mis talleres

La vida es un estudio

Desde que se nace

Hasta que se muere

Asi cruce pal' norte

Buscando buena vida

Componente vacio

De materia consumida

Dejé a mi abuela

Sola pa' besarle el culo a Ronald McDonald

Y tomar coca cola

Todos somos ilegales, todos somos ilegales

The defiant ones, our time has come

Todos somos ilegales

Fighting for a new way and a new day

Todos somos ilegales

We are all illegal, we are illegal
