And he grew up oh so fast
They're on the wrong

Risking everything to share

And all the skills he learned,

For you uncles and cousins in Spain
One day they sent him back
To the wrong side of the tracks,
five years later
and not one single damn

and then they sent him home to fail
Knowing damn well he'd
have to go back

That just ain't right
There's another one born
like him every day
And a hundred more to take the place
of every the one you lie to wait
