Genesis : Illegal Alien
Lyrics
1. ILLEGAL ALIEN
Got out of bed, wasn't feeling too good
With my wallet and my passport, a new pair of shoes
The sun is shining so I head for the park,
With a bottle of Tequila, and a new pack of cigarettes
I got a cousin and she got a friend,
Who thought that her aunt knew a man who could help
At his apartment I knocked on the door,
He wouldn't come out until he got paid.
Now don't tell anybody what I wanna do
If they find out you know
That they'll never let me through, cos
It's no fun being an illegal alien
No, it's no fun being an illegal alien
Down at the office had to fill out the forms
A pink one, a red one, the colours you choose,
Up to the counter to see what they think
They said "it doesn't count man,
It ain't written in ink".
I don't trust anybody, least not around here, cos
It's no fun being an illegal alien, I tell ya
It's no fun being an illegal alien, no no no no no
It's no fun being an illegal alien,
I mean it when I tell ya that
It's no fun being an illegal alien,
An illegal alien, O.K.
Consideration for your fellow man
Would not hurt anybody, it sure fits in with my plan
Over the border, there lies the promised land
Where everything comes easy, you just hold out your hand
Keep your suspicions, I've seen that look before
But I ain't done nothing wrong now,
Is that such a suprise
But I've got a sister who'd be willing to oblige
She will do anything now to help me get to the outside
So don't tell anybody what I wanna do
If they find out you know
That they'll never let me through, because
It's no fun being an illegal alien, I tell ya
It's no fun being an illegal alien,
And it's getting me down
It's no fun being an illegal alien, no no no no no
It's no fun being an illegal alien, yeah yeah yeah
It's no fun not much fun being an illegal alien,
I tell ya that
It's no fun being an illegal alien, I tell ya
It's no fun being an illegal alien, no no no
It's no fun (not bloody much fun) being an illegal alien,
It's no fun being an illegal alien, and that's what I am.
2. TURN IT ON AGAIN
All I need is a TV show, that and the radio
Down on my luck again, down on my luck again
I can show you
I can show you some of the people in my life
I can show you
I can show you some of the people in my life
It's driving me mad just another way of passing the day
I, I get so lonely when she's not there
I, I, I...
You're just another face that I know from the TV show
I have known you for so very long
I feel you like a friend
Can't you do anything for me, can I touch you for a while
Can I meet you another day and we will fly away
I can show you
I can show you some of the people in my life
I can show you
I can show you some of the people in my life
It's driving me mad it's just another way
Of passing the day
I, I get so lonely when she's not there
I, I, I...
Turn it on, turn it on, turn it on again
Turn it on, turn it on, turn it on again
I can see another face
Turn it on, turn it on, turn it on again
I can see another face
Turn it on, turn it on, turn it on again
