  • Dangerous dreams have been detected
    Streaming over the Southern border
    As bad as it seems, it's worse than expected
    Fleeing through the night corridor

    Oh, I've done the math
    With a stick in the sand
    I've kicked the can into a dead end

    Oh, I can't mend
    Every broken fence
    I'm a new man
    But I am still my mother

    If it was up to me, I would have rejected
    The idea that money could keep you poor
    And as dark as it seems, it's worse than neglected
    When you need the one who loves no more

    I've done the math
    With a stick in the sand
    I've kicked the can
    Into a dead end

    Oh, I can't mend
    Every broken fence
    I'm a new man
    But I am still my mother Writer/s: Jeff Tweedy
