Mr Border Patrol, is my paper alright?
Mr Border Patrol, where do I sleep tonight?
I don’t like your airports and your devil’s play
I don’t like your style, you won't let me stay
Mr Border Patrol, you always have it your way
Mr Border Patrol, is my favour all night?
Mr Border Patrol, is my skirt too tight?
You see, it’s not about me, it’s about my kid
He’s just a seven-year old, they'll never know what you did
Mr Border Patrol, please don’t lift that lid
Mr Border Patrol, is my present just fine?
Mr Border Patrol, it’s all nice and shine
Will you accept or will you reject my sign?
Can’t you see, out here I can’t get what’s mine
Mr Border Patrol, let me go this time
Mr Border Patrol, you know nothing about war
Mr Border Patrol, you greedy, want more
You put me down all night, you treat me like a whore
You know nothing but pain, you just lock the door
Mr Border Patrol, are you rotten to the core
Mr Border Patrol, are you rotten to the core
