Текст песни: Border Crossing + перевод

It’s gotta be 105 degrees

And here comes another family

They are crossing this waterless sea

They are thirsty just like me

They are thirsty just like me

It’s just past 3 a.m.

They are stumbling into our tent

They have been clawing their way into freedom

And we are breaking the law just to feed them

We are breaking the law just to feed them

You see we have drawn this imaginary line

Says this is your country and this is mine

And I guess I was just born into the lucky

This is what separates you from me

What separates you from me

I don’t want to be peaceful in this struggle

Just another beatnik with a muzzle

I don’t want to be peaceful in this struggle

Just another beatnik with a muzzle

We are tired and we are scared

Hiding from the searchlight’s glare

We have huddled together on the ground

Don’t make a sound, don’t make a sound

Cause here comes the man from the border faction

And he is just looking for a piece of the action

I guess it’s too much to hope for some compassion

So I say a little prayer

Santa Maria save us from despair

So I say a little prayer

Santa Maria save us from despair

There must be some kind of mistake

Cause we are not terrorists, for Christ’s sake

This is the Melendez family

We were just hoping to gain entry

We were just hoping to gain entry

I don’t want to be peaceful in this struggle

Just another beatnik with a muzzle

I don’t want to be peaceful in this struggle

Just another beatnik with a muzzle

Just another beatnik with a muzzle

So I say a little prayer

Santa Maria save us from despair

So I say a little prayer

Santa Maria save us from despair
