                A7
Well, if you're looking for purpose in the current circus, if you're seeking respect and attention
             A7
If you're in need of a gig that'll make you feel big, come with me and put some folks in detention
          D7
Just last week was kinda tough, I put a kid in cuffs, I zip-tied a lady to a van
       A7
We can sneak around town, hunting working folks down, I hear they get a great benefit plan


Chorus:
     E7
Join ICE, boy, ain't it nice
     D7
Join ICE, take my advice
          A7
If you're lacking control and authority, come with me and hunt down minorities
     A7
Join ICE

Harmonica

Well, I failed the academy, the cops weren't having me, the army didn't sound that fun
So I found me a paramilitary operation that was keen to hand me a gun
I got picked on at school, I never felt that cool, there's a hole in my soul that just rages
All the ladies turned me down and I felt like a clown, well, will you look at me now, I'm putting folks in cages

Chorus 2:
At ICE for respect and power
Join ICE, I hear they got great hours
There's a sign-on bonus of 50 grand, they're in need of you needing to feel like a man
Join ICE

Guitar

Well, if you're looking for purpose in the current circus, if you're seeking respect and attention
If you're in need of a gig that'll make you feel big, come with me and put some folks in detention
See, I failed the academy, the cops weren't having me, the army didn't sound that fun
So I found me a paramilitary operation that was keen to hand me a gun
