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
