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


Chorus 1:
     E
Join ICE, boy, ain't it nice
     D
Join ICE, take my advice
          A                                       E
If you're lacking control and authority, come with me and hunt down minorities
     A
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 - Look at him go

Well, if you're looking for thrills and you're wantin' to kill but you don't want to travel far
They give you some chemical spray and in a couple of days, you'll be shootin' women in their cars
If you've been prone to failure and your life's been hell, you're entitled to some compensation
They give you some Federal Immunity to kill with impunity, give your salute, they'l put you on location
 
Chorus 3:
Join ICE, they're only takin' the best
Join ICE, you don't have to take any less
If you're low on options and needin' a plan
They're in need of you needin' to feel like a man
