Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I just got back from the border
And what I saw made me know for sure we're out of order
I had a dream about New Orleans
At Jackson Square, I heard a prayer down to New Orleans
[Verse 2]
On the run there's a life for livin'
But the people there they just don't care
Livin' their life like a millionaire, down on the border
[Verse 3]
You'll never see me in old Iran
The women there don't know who I am in old Iran
And I never will go to Singapore
The people there will cut your hair in Singapore
[Verse 4]
On their streets there's a life of plenty
But they'll never know about the freedom show
They're livin' in darkness years ago, down on the border
[Verse 5]
They built a wall at the border
Not to keep us out but to leave no doubt, they're out of order, hey
And all the people who are trapped within
Serve to show just how far we'll go and how dumb we've been
[Verse 6]
At the top life looks so easy
But they'll never know, what they'll never know they're much too busy
Countin' all their dough from the border
From the border
[Verse 7]
Down on the border
Down on the border
Down on the border
Down on the border
Down on the border
Down on the border
Down on the border
