Banned At The Border

from Truth to Power by Bon Jorno & Hutchings

/

lyrics

Flying in to JFK
Coming home to the USA
Ancient cities bombed and burning
Thousands homeless, hungry and yearning
Those who live to cross the sea
Blamed for all they're trying to flee
Somebody’s notion of law and order
Coming home, banned at the border
A world-wide welcome to the USA
Banned at the border, turned away

Heady days on the Western front
Where the border patrol is on the hunt
Tempest-tossed, tired and poor
Huddled masses reach the shore
Those who live to cross the sea
Blamed for all they're trying to flee
Somebody’s notion of law and order
No compassion, banned at the border
How to move this heart of stone
Banned at the border, coming home

Flying in to JFK, coming home to the USA
She was hoping just to see her kids today
But she was banned at the border anyway
Like those who live to cross the sea
Blamed for all they're trying to flee
Somebody's notion of law and order
Coming home, banned at the border
A world-class welcome to the USA
Banned at the border
Turned away, turned away
