Down On The Border - Little River Band

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
