Border Song
 
Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Taupin


Holy Moses, I have been removed
I have seen the spectre, he has been here too
Distant cousin from down the line
Brand of people who ain't my kind
Holy Moses, I have been removed

Holy Moses, I have been deceived
Now the wind has changed direction and I'll have to leave
Won't you please excuse my frankness
But it's not my cup of tea
Holy Moses, I have been deceived

I'm going back to the border
Where my affairs, my affairs ain't abused
I can't take any more bad water
I've been poisoned from my head to my shoes

Holy Moses, I've been deceived

Holy Moses, let us live in peace
Let us strive to find a way to make all hatred cease
There's a man over there
What's his color I don't care
He's my brother let us live in peace
He's my brother let us live in peace
He's my brother let us, let us live in peace
