Across the Wire

歌詞

alberto hits his brother on the back of the head, looks to the north as he starts to get up his brother still sleepy grumbles "it's not light yet," "if you want a new life, what's a few minutes wait?" darkness on the road and over the land into the laws and out of the hands from those with so much and no show of heart you'd think it'd be crazy to ask for a small part spotted an eagle in the middle of a lake resting on cactus and feasting on snakes the waters recede as the dump closes in, revealing a whole lake of sleeping children poison in the stream that flows to the sea out on the waves that crash within reach of those with so much and so little to fear you'd think it'd be crazy to be so far away yet so near some say a new day will shine here on these catastrophes and horrors of misfortune, all across the wire Alberto y Hermano on the coyote's trail and dodging the shadows of the border patrol out in the wastelands wandering for days the future looks bleak with no sign of change darkness in the eye and down in the soul all across the wire to those in control holding so much with no show of heart you think it'd be crazy to watch it all fall apart watch it all fall apart
