RIO GRANDE REVISITED

Standing on the shore of the Rio Grande
The suitcase and the child in her hand
Waiting for a signal from the man
Cross over the river - cross into the promised land
By the Rio Grande

Floating off the coast of Vietnam
You got twenty in the boat maybe twenty more hanging on
A freighter cruised by flashing the stars and stripes
Dreams of Hollywood - LAX tonight
And Hollywood's in sight

I'm checking out your social systems
I'm checking out your social benefits
Most of them are non-existent
Hello Uncle Sam don't you treat me like shit

The tyrant and his mistress breeze through customs
Carrying their bloody loot in Louis Vuitton sacs
The politicians - no - you just can't trust em
The people screaming give our money back
Can you dig that
