Down on the Border Songtext
von 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
Jackson Square, I heard their prayer
Down in 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 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
Oh, but they'll never know about the freedom show
Their 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, a life looks so easy
But they′ll never know what they'll never know
They are much too busy countin' all their dough
From the border
From the border

Down on the border (ooh, yeah)
Down on the border
Down on the border
Down on the border
Down on the border
Down on the border
Down on the border
