Lyrics

If he should break the promises he keeps,
Imagine all the secrets that he’d speak.
The parties that were started in his sleep...
Please stop me if I go too deep.

Don’t wear a mask, but carry a gun.
Welcome, welcome the prodigal one.
He leaves no traces in the sun or the Rio Grand...
But there’s blood in the sand.

So pour him a double, a triple will do.
They’re building cages so let’s call it a zoo.
Then open the bars and we’ll all get tattooed...
Sounds about as crazy as coyotes lassoed.

Chorus

Nosotros Somos Uno
Haznos Exitoso

But we think we understand
Just a Mariachi band
Standing baying at the moon
When there praying at the borderland...

So deliver his corpse to the porch of doubt.
It’s hard to hear when you’re trying to shout.
Commandments coming down from Ivory towers
Listen to science believe in its power

Chorus

Of the Borderland
They’re only changing hands
In the shifting sands
Of the the Borderland Across the Rio Grand.
Nosotros Somos Uno
Its the Borderland
Haznos Exitoso
Oh the Rio Grand.
There’s blood on our hands
