  • There I was at the immigration scene
    Shining and feeling clean
    Could it be a sin?
    I got stopped by the immigration man
    He says he doesn't know if he can.

    Let me in,
    Let me in, immigration man,
    Can I cross the line and pray
    I can stay another day
    Let me in, immigration man
    I won't toe your line today
    I can't see it anyway. Hey hey
    There he was with his immigration face
    Giving me a paper chase
    But the son was coming

    Cause all at once he looked into my space
    And stamped a number over my face
    And it sent me running
    Won't you let me in, immigration man
    Can I cross the line and pray
    I can stay another day
    Won't you let me in, immigration man
    I won't toe your line today
    I can't see it anyway.

    Here I am with my immigration form
    It's big enough to keep me warm
    When a cold wind's coming
    So go where you will
    As long as you think you can
    You'd better watch out, watch out for the man
    Anywhere you're going.

    Come on and let me in, immigration man,
    Can I cross the line and pray
    Take your fingers from the tray.

    Let me in, irritation man,
    I won't toe your line today
    I can't see it anyway. Writer/s: Kent Wennman, Sampo Axelsson
