Illegal Alien

Genesis

Transposer:

(intro 4x) Got out of bed wasn’t feeling too good With my wallet and my passport a new pair of shoes The sun was shining so I head for the park With a bottle of tequila and a new pack of cigarrettes I got a cousin and sge got a friend Who thought that her aunt knew a man who could help At his apartment I knock on the door He wouldn’t come out until he got paid (pre-chorus) Now don’t tell anybody what I wanna do If they find out you know that they’ll never let me through Cos it’s no fun being an illegal alien (2x or however many you feel like) Down at the office had to fill out the forms A pink one a red one the colours you choose Up to the counter to see what they think they said "It doesn’t count man it aint written in ink" I don’t trust anybody least not around here (Chorus) Lead in to bridge (the keyboard solo) (2 bars) (2 bars) An illegal alien OK Bridge (background chords) whole phrase (2x) (no 3rd) 2 bars (no 3) 2 bars (no 3) 1 bar (no 3) (no 3) half bar each Consideration for your fellow man Would not hurt anybody sure fits in with my plan Where everything comes easy you just hold out your hand ( ) (2x)

La chanson évoque l’histoire d’un homme qui se lève difficilement, armé de son passeport et de ses affaires, prêt à affronter une journée incertaine. Dans un environnement hostile, il cherche à naviguer les complications administratives d'une vie d'immigré, tout en cachant ses intentions à ceux qui l’entourent. Malgré ses efforts pour s’intégrer, il se rend compte que la bureaucratie lui complique la vie et que la méfiance règne autour de lui. Le contexte de cette chanson illustre les défis rencontrés par ceux qui vivent en marge de la société, cherchant désespérément à trouver leur place sans toujours être les bienvenus. Elle met en lumière ces luttes quotidiennes, tout en interrogeant les notions de solidarité et de considération pour autrui.
