Rio Grande crawling with desperation
Hard drugs linin' the gunny sack
The air is thick with perspiration
A new life waits for the wetback
Crossing the borderline
Into the fire
Now this is where Juan left his family
You can still smell the blood in his tracks
Yeah, and this is where we found the baby
Oh, from here there ain't no turnin' back
Crossing the borderline
Into the fire
Crossing the borderline
Into the fire
Import, transport, exportation
Rights of nations, exploited salvation
Damnation under one God's fixation
Without deportations, prejudice with limitations
Yeah, Avenida Revolution
Nogales, Tiajuana, Mexicali, Juarez
We got flowers, crosses and no solution
Oh, stay close and do what mommy says
What mommy says, mommy says
We're crossing the borderline
Into the fire
Crossing the borderline
Into the fire
Crossing the borderline, yeah, yeah
Into the fire, hey, hey, hey you
Crossing the borderline, hey you
Crossing the borderline
Into the fire, hey you, hey, hey, hey you
Bullets, tear gas, barbed wire fences
Thirsty dogs, sun, sandy trenches
Night crawling human, insects breeding
Feet, hands, arms, backs still bleeding
