Cross the Border

• Along the U.S./Mexico border are 300 gun shops, on the American side.  In Mexico, there is only one gun shop, in the capital, run by the military with numerous restrictions on sales.
• The Mexican government reports that 80-90% of the guns captured in cartel raids are of U.S. origin
• Thousands of Mexicans and Central Americans flee Northward to the United States each year to escape the scourge of the cartels
• Many recent board members of the National Rifle Association profit directly from gun sales – their profits are hindered by gun control laws

Hey kid, wanna make some dough?
Just head down South towards Mexico
Get yourself set up with a nice gun shop
The sales are bound to never stop!

For some strange reason there’s no end to the orders
When you set yourself up at the Mexican border
Don’t let the proximity trouble your soul
Leave it up to the folks on the border patrol

Come fuel the slaughter across the border
But don’t you send us your songs and daughters!

If not from you, they’ll get ‘em someplace else
So don’t let the thoughts make you trouble yourself
There’s no way you could know that a piece that you sell
Ended up in the hands of the local cartel

Oh, there’s no need for a background check
No need for a card or a check
Just put out your hands and it’s filled with green
Head into town and make the scene

And fuel the slaughter across the border
But don’t you send us your songs and daughters

Oh how many dead Mexicans will it take
To ensure massive profits from the sales you will make?
‘Cause the newest board member of the NRA
Wants to buy him a yacht, and he wants it today!

So don’t you challenge our amendment rights
‘Cause we’ll fight to protect them with all our might
‘Cause hunting and protections what we’re selling ‘em for
Never told anyone to go start a drug war!

We fuel the slaughter across the border
And don’t you send us your sons and daughters

Oh where will the bullets go?
You’ll never need to know
