[bad word]  
We put up the borders that board us into our boxes 
Can’t you see now how the locksmith lies? 
Stoking up the national pride 
While they’re keeping all the wealth inside 
(repeat) 

We put up the borders 
To keep out the needy man 
Borders 
To protect the greedy man 
Borders 
To keep all the living men dead, dead, dead 
(repeat)

(VERSE 1) 

We put up the borders 
That separate us from our fellow human beings 
Emphasizing difference instead of seeing 
The reflections that connect us 
Connections that perfect us 
The similarities of factors that affect us in our 
Everyday existence in this planet that we all live upon 
Six billion expressions of the same essential one 
The same essential force 
That fundamental source 
Of energy that manifests itself in oh so many different forms. And it’s 

All alright and all ok and that’s just fine you know but 
Me I know that sometimes you have to draw the lines just to make 
Sense of what you see 
Of this reality 
But understand the lines you draw only exist within your mind, it’s the 
Illusion of separation, whoa oh oh 
Separating nation from nation, the 
Justification for social segregation 
So deep in our delusions like a world of mental patients, now it’s 

Time to tear down the asylum walls and let the patients out, it’s 
Time to let the refugees inside and share the wealth about, it’s 
Time that we all understand 
We are just one land 
Just one people, people it’s time to make a stand and say

No woh woh woh 
I won’t go woh woh woh 
I won’t go quietly no no no 
I won’t go quietly no no no 
I said No woh woh woh 
I won’t go woh woh woh 
I won’t go quietly no no no 
I won’t go quietly no no no 

And if I do, you should know 
You can’t trap my soul 
Trap my soul 
Behind these...

(VERSE 2) 

Borders 
That elevate the status of those with resources 
Never wonder from what plundering the source is 
Misappropriated 
Excavated from the living earth 
Minerals like outlaw criminals flee from their place of birth and 
Make the journey northwards 
Destined for our waters where they’re 
 [bad word] in with open arms by the governments and corporates 
Container ships slip over border points with ease 
When they’re carrying [bad word] that service our greed, but meanwhile 

Deep down in the belly of the ship, a secret human cargo waits 
No food or water’s passed a man’s lips for the last eleven days 
Kept alive by memories of families they’ve left behind 
They ride the waves towards the promise of a better life 

Some flee from tyranny 
Some simply seek a way 
To lift themselves up from the poverty that stalks them every day 
 [bad word] away from never ending civil war 
For every single one of them 
This is the last resort and they say...
