Bullets & Rocks - Calexico

The days are growing short

Patience wearing thin

Blackouts and broken trust

Leading to exodus

The future’s built on bullets and rocks

They’ll search, they’ll save

They’ll find it one day

There’s work to do And mouths to feed

Why can’t you see

This plaintiff plea

The future’s starved

The families disappear

To the dark cover of night

No fear, no harm was meant

The smuggler joked

And down they went

The devil’s highway

Disguised as a cloud of dust and smoke

Narcos and feds

Are all intertwined

You can leave your valuables here

With me he smiled

A future’s promised to you

Wrapped in their words without truth

Echoes in a labyrinth of solitude

Security built a lie, a wall

Wrapped round and around fortitude

Bullets and rocks

A future’s promised to you
