Border Song (Holy Moses)

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 think I 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 been abused!
I can't take any more bad water
I've been poisoned from my head down to my shoes
Yes, I have

Holy Moses, I have been removed

Holy Moses, can we live in peace?
Let us try to find a way to make all hatred cease
There's a man standing over there
What's his color I don't care
Holy Moses, can we live in peace?

Holy Moses, can we live in peace?
Holy Moses, can we live in
I wonder can we live in peace?
