  • Hey you!

    Rio Grande crawling with desperation
    Hard drugs linin' the gunny sack
    The air is thick with desperation
    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, predjudice with limitations

    Yeah, Avenida Revolution
    Nogales Tiajuana meets the County Juarez
    We got flowers, crosses and no solution, oh
    Stay close and do what Mommy says, what Mommy says, Mommy says

    Well, crossing the borderline
    Into the fire
    Crossing the borderline
    Into the fire

    Crossing the borderline, yeah
    Yeah
    Into the fire
    Hey, hey, hey you

    (Oh, oh, oh, oh)

    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
    Nightcrawling human insects breeding
    Feet, arms, hands, backs still bleeding Writer/s: JOE SATRIANI, SAMMY HAGAR
