Over the Border Songtext
von Jimmy Cliff & Joe Strummer

They′re shedding blood over the border
So who came first to these hills?
Only the drums remember
Because the hand of the drummer was tilled
Oh, will chaos and disorder
Always reign through these hills?
Peace will be slaughtered by anger
And the blood of the lamb will be spilled

Over the border
Over the border (Oh yeah, I'm going)
Over the border (Looking for freedom)
Over the border


There′s people moving over the border
Flowing between all the lands
But the hammer of war is upon us
Carry the little ones over the sands
All the seeds are dying without water
Instead there's blood on the soil to be tilled
High grows the tree of vengeance
And dark does it's shadow on the hills

Over the border
Over the border (Oh yes, I′m going)
Over the border (Looking for freedom)
Over the border

Over the border
Over the

They′re shelling both sides of the border
In Amerique is there a spell
That like a prayer could be chanted
And summon heaven out of hell?
Will chaos and disorder
Always reign through these hills?
Peace will be slaughtered by anger
Blood of the lamb will be spilled


Over the border (Oh yeah, we're going)
Over the border (Looking for freedom)
Over the border (Oh yeah, we′re going)
Over the border (Looking for freedom)
Over the border
Over the border (Looking for freedom)
Over the border (Oh yeah, we're going)
Over the border (Looking for freedom)
Over the border (Oh yeah, we′re going)
Over the border (Looking for freedom)
Over the border (Oh yeah, we're going)
