Immigration RSVP by Lemn Sissay‏

The lemons you suck are from Spain
And the orange you drink's from South Africa.
Shoes you wear are made in Pakistan
And your oil is from Saudi Arabia.

You import your petrol from the Gulf States
And your toys are made in Taiwan.
Your coffee they send from Columbia And your cars are driven from Japan.

You've flooded yourself with foreign good
But foreigners you tell me are bad.
You say you're afraid that they'll over run you
But I'm afraid they already have.
