Down on the Border

Текст песни Little River Band - Down on the Border

[Verse 1]
I just got back
From the border
And what I saw
Made me know for sure
We're out of order

[Verse 2]
I had a dream
About New Orleans
At Jackson Square
I heard a prayer
Down to New Orleans

[Pre-Chorus]
On the run
There's a life for livin'
But the people there
They just don't care

[Chorus 1]
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
[Verse 4]
And I never will go
To Singapore
The people there
Will cut your hair
In Singapore

[Pre-Chorus]
On their streets
There's a life of plenty
But they'll never know
About the freedom show

[Chorus 2]
They're livin' in darkness
Years ago
Down on the border

[Instrumental - 1:35-1:48]

[Bridge 1]
They built a wall at the border
Not to keep us out
But to leave no doubt
They're out of order, hey
[Bridge 2]
And all the people
Who are trapped within
Serve to show
Just how far we'll go
And how dumb we've been

[Pre-Chorus]
At the top
Life looks so easy
But they'll never know
What they'll never know

[Chorus 3]
They're much too busy
Countin' all their dough
From the border
From the border
Down on the border
Down on the border

[Outro]
Down on the border
Down on the border
Down on the border
Down on the border
Down on the border
