Papers, Please: The Musical

Welcome to our most glorious nation
Papers please, and we'll get you on you way
Please, provide some identification
Tell me now, how long do you plan to stay?

Please sir, let me through!
My family has the flu
They are dying in Arstotzka while I'm stuck in here with you
Sir, your state ID
Is out of date I see
But since you've implored it
I'll simply ignore it!
The rest seems good to me

Welcome to greatest country Arstotzka
Papers please, or you will not be allowed!
Just a few simple questions to ask ya
I will stamp your passport once this things you have avowed

Is this here your name?
Your Visa's not the same
I changed it only Sunday!
Where's the proof to back your claim?
Please, I have not lied
I am a brand new bride
My husband's awaiting, consummating!
Your entry is denied!

We the leaders of Arstotzka! Hereby raise security
Every permit must be signed
Upside down or you'll be fined
Glory to Arstotzka!

You will tear up every Visa
From a person with a beard
Every woman, child and man
From Antagria is banned
Glory to, glory to Arstotzka!

Welcome in to our beautiful country
Papers please or I'll have you thrown in jail
Please forgive, I must put this quite bluntly
On this card, it says that you are a male

Oh! I got that changed
I've since been rearranged
If you're no man, this body scan sure looks a little strange
Surely this could make a dull or small mistake
A false alarm ma'am, do no harm!
I've got some lives to take

In the interest of Arstotzka, we impose new protocols!
Every migrate over-weight
You must now interrogate!
Glory to, glory to Arstotzka!

Hey, yes you, do you back the rebellion
'Gainst the state and it's grip upon the land?
Vile, corrupt, truly Machiavellian
Join the revolution, now's the time to take a stand

Listen sir you seem, suspicious and extreme
It's true my covert goal's to overthrow the whole regime!
Which side should I choose?
When either way I lose

My occupation or my kids and the wife?
My aspirations or my worthless life!
Deny, or approve
