Keyholes to Open Borders

CHORUS
G                    Em              C         G
Build walls around the welfare state, not a border round the country
        Em                  C                          D                       G
These ideas may sound unfair but poverty's unfairer
C                                 D                G
Keyhole solutions to open borders

VERSE
G                       D                             C                               G
Immigrants took our jobs! took our jobs, took our jobs!
C                                    Em                       D                     G
Use apparatuses like taxes 
as practices to relax the natives 
by paying their taxes 
so their objection collapses

Immigrants only take, and they will break, the welfare state
For these purposes 
make access to services 
purchases 
so this encourages nurturers 
for surpluses

BRIDGE
             D                   C                       D                 G
What about having Blue cards -  as well as Green?

CHORUS            

VERSE
They don’t talk like us, they can't discuss, they can't adjust
To address this request I suggest a language test which selects the best that possess the necessary linguistic finesse

They've got bad ideas, they'll bring them here, these are our fears
Protect from the threat from the outset by vets for citizenship with a net to catch the criminal mindset

BRIDGE
Restriction of movement has given us global apartheid

CHORUS (INSTRUMENTAL)

MIDDLE (CHORDS AS CHORUS)
G                    Em                    C                       G
You say stop immigration when you don't get causation
        Em                  C                          D                       G
When your only tools a hammer, everything looks like a nail
G                    Em              C         G
America had open borders til 1924
        Em                  C                          D                       G
And got  the tired and poor, no none wanted anymore
D                   C                                D                G
It became the richest country in the whole wide world 

CHORUS






BRIDGE
They say stop immigration, cos they don’t understand causation


VERSE
Immigrants they bring crime, all the time, just by design
The data doesn’t back this up but check criminal records
  

They don’t know our culture, or our structure, they are vulgar
Stipulate local knowledge, and a  cultural exam

CHORUS
For many financial and social problems they say restrict immigration
They throw away the benefits cos they don’t understand causation
When your only tools a hammer, everything looks a nail


BRIDGE (Spoken)
These solutions may sound difficult, but they're already in action
Welfare to Work & delayed citizenship have already gained traction
What about Blue cards as well as Green?


 Restriction of movement is global apartheid
