And that's still where it is today
Someone killed Ramon Casiano
And the killer got away
Down by the Sister Cities river
Two boys with way more pride than sense
One would fall and one would prosper
Never forced to make amends
He became a border agent
And supplemented what he made
With creative deportation
And missing ammo by the case
Since Bullet ran the operation
There's hardly been a minute since
There ain't a massing at the border
From Chinese troops to terrorists
He had the makings of a leader
Of a certain kind of men
Who need to feel the world's against him
Out to get 'em if it can
Men whose trigger pull their fingers
Of men who'd rather fight than win
United in a revolution
Like in mind and like in skin
It all started with the border
And that's still where it is today
Down by the Sister Cities river
But for sure no one can say
The killing's been the bullet's business
Since back in 1931
Someone killed Ramon Casiano
And Ramon still ain't dead enough
It all started with the border And that's still where it is today Someone killed Ramon Casiano And the killer got away Down by the Sister Cities river Two boys with way more pride than sense One would fall and one would prosper Never forced to make amends He became a border agent And supplemented what he made With creative deportation And missing ammo by the case Since Bullet ran the operation There's hardly been a minute since There ain't a massing at the border From Chinese troops to terrorists He had the makings of a leader Of a certain kind of men Who need to feel the world's against him Out to get 'em if it can Men whose trigger pull their fingers Of men who'd rather fight than win United in a revolution Like in mind and like in skin It all started with the border And that's still where it is today Down by the Sister Cities river But for sure no one can say The killing's been the bullet's business Since back in 1931 Someone killed Ramon Casiano And Ramon still ain't dead enough Explain Request ×
