Borderlines lyrics

The pursuit of happiness is in great demand
Immigrants run across the border to escape their homeland
They want to be like you and me to be free
You want them out want armed guards on the borders
You're already in now you want restraining orders
You won't let them be like you and me, to be free

Laser turrets, electric fence and a moat
Send out ships to sink refugee boats
Lock the door and swallow the key
Make the standard of living better for you and for me

We all were lucky were born here by chance
Grew up listening to the same old song and dance
This is the land of opportunity
Think again, those rules don't apply
To all the people stuck on the other side of the borderline
Hey... but you're doing fine

Laser turrets, electric fence and a moat
Send out ships to sink refugee boats
Lock the door and swallow the key
Make the standard of living better for you and for me

A man with four children dreams of a better day
When he can make the hunger pains of his children go away
Sneaks across the border gets a job, finally has reason to believe
A bus ride home with shackles is what he receives

If the choices to make all were mine
We'd be living in a world without a single borderline
