Fuck the Border

Okay, so this might be going off on a bit a tangent here, but my last post inspired me to do a post about Propagandhi, as they are a big influence for me. It's partly their fault I'm a stinking vegan hippy.

These are the lyrics to what I believe is a song of defiance aimed at the USA's border vigilantes/racist rednecks, who try to shoot people crossing the USA/Mexico border. Its called Fuck the Border:

A friend of mine dropped me a line, it said,
"man, I gotta run to the USA. I got no money, got no job."
She skipped out of Mexico to stay alive.
You've got a problem with her living here,
but what did you do to help her before she fucking came?
What did the country do?
What did the people do?
I stand not by my country, but by people of the whole fucking world.
No fences, no borders.
Free movement for all.
Fuck the border.
It's about fucking time to treat people with respect.
It's our culture and consumption that makes her life unbearable.
Fuck this country; its angry eyes, its knee-jerk hordes.
Legal or illegal, watch her fucking go.
She'll take what's hers.
Watch her fucking go.
Fuck the border.
