Immigrant Punk Lyrics

Upon arriving to the melting pot
I get penciled in as a goddamn white
Now that I am categorized
Officer gets me naturalized
Now that I'm living up in God knows where
Sometime it gets hard without a friend
But as I am lurking around
Hoptza! I see another immigrant punk!
There is a little punk rock mafia
Everywhere you go
She is good to me and I am good to her

Legalize me! Realize me!

Despite the living up in USA
I'm still holding up in all my ways
I got a friends, we got a band
We still make sound you can't stand
Without banging on some big old pot
Without getting out of bed
But I'm relaxed, I'm just lurking around
Hoptza! I see another immigrant punk!
There is a little punk rock mafia
Everywhere you go
She is good to me and I am good to her

Legalize me! Realize me!
Party!

Of course we immigrants want to sing all night long
Don't you know the singing salves the troubled soul?
So I'm relaxed, I'm just lurking around
I got a method and you don't
You got a dictionary kicking around?
Look up the immigrant, immigrant, immigrant punk!

There's a line lifted from a Clash song in the last verse

"Of course we immigrants wanna sing all night long."

The Clash song is "Straight to Hell" and the part in that song goes:

"Can you cough it up loud and strong The immigrants. they wanna sing all night long. It could be anywhere. most likely could be any frontier in any hemisphere."
