Border Song

Music by elton john
Lyrics by bernie taupin (last verse by elton john)
Available on the album elton john

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 down to my shoes


Holy moses i have 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 colour 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 live in peace
