Across The Wire Full Lyrics
[00:09.03] Alberto hits his brother on the
[00:20.76] Back of the head,
[00:24.38] Looks to the north as he starts to get up
[00:29.78] His brother still sleepy
[00:31.55] Grumbles "it's not light yet,"
[00:35.25] "If you want a new life, what's
[00:37.03] A few minutes wait?"
[00:39.74] Darkness on the road and over the land
[00:44.26] Into the laws and out of the hands
[00:48.77] From those with so much
[00:51.45] And no show of heart
[00:53.24] You'd think it'd be crazy
[00:56.87] To ask for a small part
[01:20.37] Spotted an eagle in the middle of a lake
[01:26.67] Resting on cactus and feasting on snakes
[01:32.08] The waters recede as the dump closes in,
[01:37.46] Revealing a whole lake of sleeping children
[01:41.95] Poison in the stream that flows to the sea
[01:46.51] Out on the waves that crash within reach
[01:51.96] Of those with so much
[01:53.72] And so little to fear
[01:55.53] You'd think it'd be crazy
[01:59.12] To be so far away yet so near
[02:05.45] Some say a new day will shine here
[02:13.57] On these catastrophes and horrors
[02:19.90] Of misfortune, all across the wire
[02:30.73] Alberto y Hermano on the coyote's trail
[02:35.23] And dodging the shadows of the border patrol
[02:39.75] Out in the wastelands wandering for days
[02:45.14] The future looks bleak with
[02:47.87] No sign of change
[02:50.55] Darkness in the eye and down
[02:52.39] In the soul
[02:54.18] All across the wire to those in control
[02:59.65] Holding so much
[03:01.46] With no show of heart
[03:03.24] You think it'd be crazy
[03:06.84] To watch it all fall apart
[03:10.44] Watch it all fall apart
[03:14.04]
