Verse 1 I’m a resident alien, they said I’d be free, Signed on the dotted line, but they tricked me with Uncle T. They told me it was freedom, but it’s just a paper chain, Now I’m stuck in D.C.’s playground, and I’m feelin’ the strain. Chorus Oh, they got us good, signed us up for that game, We thought we were just living, but we ended up in their frame. Resident alien blues, in the land of Uncle T, They sold us jurisdiction, and they called it liberty. Verse 2 We never knew the contract didn’t really apply, They said “come be a citizen,” but it was all a lie. Jason read the fine print, Albert drew the map, Now we see the trick they pulled, we ain’t fallin’ for the trap. Bridge Jason says, “Wake up, see the game they play!” Albert shouts, “Resident alien — there’s a better way!” Together they’re laughing at the lies we believed, Pointin’ to the freedom that we never received. Chorus Oh, they got us good, signed us up for that game, We thought we were just living, but we ended up in their frame. Resident alien blues, but the truth’s in sight, With Jason and Albert, we’re takin’ back our right!
