The Lyrics
Save The Whales.
A Mexican
If tomorrow all the smoke was gone
I'd breathed for all my life
I have to start again
My dozen children and my wife
We'd all pack in our car
We're all goin' north today
The flag Still Stands for freedom
Gonna cross the line today
I Hate That I'm A Mexican
I eat salsa and refried beans
And once before, my dad had tried
To get to the land of free
And I gladly cram in, next to you
The Gates ain't closed today
I hope we put enough gas in the van
Here we come USA!
As we drive through the desert
The end is almost near
I see less people like us
Less Mexicans like me
I'm looking for a signal
For us to go that way
I see the gates and I feel my heart
The Patrol ain't getting in my way!
I Hate That I'm A Mexican
I eat salsa and refried beans
And Once Before, my dad had tried
To get to the land of free
And I gladly cram in, next to you
The Gates Ain't closed today
I hope we put enough gas in the van
Here we come USA!
And trying to get to America
I guess everything isn't free
My wife got shot
My uncle died
To get where we wanted to be
I can barely stand up
And it's true, that I was deported Today
And There ain't no doubt I'll try again
Because I'm a Mexican!
If tomorrow all the smoke was gone
I'd breathed for all my life
I have to start again
My dozen children and my wife
We'd all pack in our car
We're all goin' north today
The flag Still Stands for freedom
Gonna cross the line today
I Hate That I'm A Mexican
I eat salsa and refried beans
And once before, my dad had tried
To get to the land of free
And I gladly cram in, next to you
The Gates ain't closed today
I hope we put enough gas in the van
Here we come USA!
As we drive through the desert
The end is almost near
I see less people like us
Less Mexicans like me
I'm looking for a signal
For us to go that way
I see the gates and I feel my heart
The Patrol ain't getting in my way!
I Hate That I'm A Mexican
I eat salsa and refried beans
And Once Before, my dad had tried
To get to the land of free
And I gladly cram in, next to you
The Gates Ain't closed today
I hope we put enough gas in the van
Here we come USA!
And trying to get to America
I guess everything isn't free
My wife got shot
My uncle died
To get where we wanted to be
I can barely stand up
And it's true, that I was deported Today
And There ain't no doubt I'll try again
Because I'm a Mexican!

Funny. The original song really deserves a parody, because it sucks so much! This was really funny, 555's
its sadly very true
I think Nick Has A Good Point. It's sad all the mexicans are taking advantage of our jobs. Good parody. 5+++
