Down On The Border Lyrics - Singles - 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 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 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, 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
