Down on the Border
I just got back from the borderAnd what I saw made me know for sureWe're out of orderI had a dream about New OrleansAt Jackson Square I heard their prayerDown in New OrleansOn the run, there's a life for livin'But the people there, they just don't careLivin' their life like a millionaireDown on the borderYou never see me in old IranThe women there don't know who I amIn old IranAnd I never will go to SingaporeThe people there will cut your hairIn SingaporeOn their streets there's a life of plentyOh but they'll never know about the freedom showTheir livin' in darkness years ago down on the borderThey built a wall at the borderSongtexteNot to keep us outBut to leave no doubtThey're out of order, heyAnd all the people who are trapped withinServe to show just how far we'll goAnd how dumb we've beenAt the top life looks so easyBut they'll never know what they'll never knowThey're much too busy countin' all their doughFrom the border Aus Songtexte Mania
