Hotel Arizona - Lyrics - Capitol Steps

The Capitol Steps are an American political satire group. The group has been performing since 1981, and has released approximately thirty albums consisting primarily of song parodies. Originally consisting exclusively of congressional staffers performing around Washington, D.C., the troupe now primarily employs professional actors and singers. The Capitol Steps have performed on PBS, public radio and in various small- and medium-sized venues around the United States.

Immigrant: On a dark desert highway, staying just out of sight Just like White House crashers, I don’t have an invite Up ahead in the distance, just past the cactus and sage I know I can find a brand new job, and I’ll work minimum wage Walking inside the border, a million stars out tonight I was thinking to myself, this place is heaven if you are just white Then I saw a big searchlight, it was headed my way I was spotted by a border guard, and then I heard him say Guard: Welcome to the state of Arizona Have your papers please, or you’ll have to leave There isn’t much room in the state of Arizona If you’re darker than George Hamilton Immigrant: Would you stop Obama, say his race is impure? Guard: Last week I stopped someone named, Sonia Sotomayor Immigrant: Let me check my pockets, I belong here of course I will show you my proof now, if you will show me yours Welcome to my homeland, I was born here I’ve been here, five thousand years I’m Navajo, I own the land you’re on here We’ve fought illegals too, since 1492
