"Border Song" lyrics

Border Song

Holy Moses
I have been removed
I have seen the spectre
He has been here too

Distant cousin from down the line
Brand of people who ain't my kind
Holy Moses
I have been removed

Holy Moses
I have been deceived
Now the wind
Has changed direction
And I'll have to leave

Won't you please excuse my frankness
But it's not my cup of tea
Holy Moses
I have been deceived

I'm going back to the border
Where my affairs
My affairs ain't abused
I can't take any more bad water
Been poisoned
From my head down to my shoes
Oh, oh, oh

Holy Moses
I have been deceived

Holy Moses
Let us live in peace
Let us strive to find a way
To make all hatred cease

There's a man over there
What's his color?
I don't care
He's my brother
Let us live in peace
Oh, oh, oh

He's my brother
Let us live in peace
Oh, oh, oh
He's my brother
Let us
Let us live in peace
