Resident Alien

I always thought my mother was human
I always thought that my father was too
Till the day I went through her wallet

I always knew my father was human
He had the right kind of emotion
Should have known that I broke through the water
Should have known the value of a dollar

So tell me where you from
And tell me how it's done

And in the left sleeve I found a green card
And her name read like I knew it would
But below it, in the lettering
What I found was so unsettling

She was a resident, resident, resident
Alien
Resident, resident, alien
Resident, resident, alien
So tell me where you from
And tell me how it's done
And tell me where you from

I looked around for an agenda
But it was nowhere to be found

She was a resident, resident, resident
Alien
Resident, resident, alien
Resident, resident, alien
So tell me where you from
And tell me how it's done
And tell me where you from
