Some people never go out
I understand why
Need something to read about
To spice up their lives

Others we just can’t stay in
No romance no matter how stricken
Though poverty is not what it seems
I can’t fathom fear

So if I seem close to danger
What does the bible say
Nothing will ever change
Safe in our beds
Like the rich in their tombs

Where did the money come from
Two weeks out of prison
Fifty dollars for a gun
Turned into fifty thousand

We met two mutual friends
She’s a hooker I’m a musician
He wants legitimate business
God if he only knew it’s the same as…

Tell me what is your reason 
for entering our fair state
What is your purpose 
of crossing the border here today
What is your business 
in this beautiful country
What are your reasons 
for entering the USA
