Bloody, bloody border
Bloody, bloody border
I will jump over fence
And climb up any wall
Movement of the people
You cannot control
I will walk over desert
And swim across the sea
Like a sand through your fingers
I will slip and be free
I walk over mountains
It's colder and colder
There's no way back
I'll try over and over
Nothing can stop me
No wire, no border
I will not obey
I don't listen no order
Bloody, bloody border
Sanguinary times
Bloody, bloody border
Sanguinary times
Freedom to cross
Freedom to pass
Freedom's no crime
So here we cross the line
Bloody, bloody border
Sanguinary times
Bloody, bloody border
Sanguinary times
Freedom to cross
Freedom to pass
Freedom's no crime
So here we cross the line
Here we cross the line!
I will jump over fence
And climb up any wall
Movement of the people
You cannot control
I will walk over desert
And swim across the sea
Like a sand through your fingers
I will slip and be free
Above my head
I hear buzzing of drones
While border patrol
Is crushing my bones
Is it so wrong to be born
In a danger zone
I'm just looking for a place
I can call my home
Bloody, bloody border...
Bloody, bloody border
Sanguinary times
Bloody, bloody border
Sanguinary times
Freedom to cross
Freedom to pass
Freedom's no crime
So here we cross the line
Bloody, bloody border
Sanguinary times
Bloody, bloody border
Sanguinary times
Freedom to cross
Freedom to pass
Freedom's no crime
So here we cross the line
Here we cross the line!
