Lyrics
Make way for the welcoming committee
All smiles & handshakes for now
They are screening refugees for authenticity
The desparados keep their eyes on the ground
Here comes the weight of suspicion
Accusations growing like weeds
Now the young men in their hand me down parkas
Bartering these archaic dreams

oooooh kicking down your door
oooooh kicking down your door

These unspeakable languages unraveled
Hand signals boldly thrown from car windows
Neighbours who only want the best for you
Until the fault lines start to show

His pen pal is sending mixed messages now
& an 8 x 10 half smile from school
He says there are bullies practicing their left hooks
Looking for sore thumbs sticking out of this cesspool

ooooooooh kicking down your door
ooooooooh kicking down your door

Maybe Guthrie was wrong
Cause there was a rising fog
You thought you'd slip by
But they shot you down like a dog
Maybe Guthrie was right
Though we stand where we stand
There are invisible lines in the sand
