The Dogs Of Tijuana |
| We are the dogs of Tijuana |
| Filled with garbage and stones |
| In the streets and in the fields |
| Cursed and crushed beneath the wheels |
| But together we are strong |
| Our songs echo in the darkness |
| Down the machiladora’s halls |
| Where Brother Solomon was tortured |
| The one tree in the orchard |
| Casts a shadow on the wall |
| The way is hard and long |
| But the dogs are coming home |
| We are the dogs of Tijuana |
| Left for dead in the ravine |
| In the arroyos and the valleys |
| The sewers and the alleys |
| We shiver and we dream |
| So, don’t stop to ask directions |
| If you think you’ve lost your way |
| The wrath of the lion |
| Is the wisdom of God |
| And every dog has its day |
| The way is hard and long |
| But the dogs are coming home |
| We crossed the tin can cardboard slums |
| And to these pastures came |
| Into the hands of wicked men |
| Sold by the hands of strangers |
| There’ll be no silver lining, friend |
| Of that I’m sure |
| So, shake my hand one last time |
| Cause brother, this is war |
| We are the dogs of Tijuana |
| Watching every road into town |
| A rising sea without a shore |
| Right outside your door |
| So, why weep now? |
| The way is hard and long |
| But tonight we’re coming home |
| We are the dogs of Tijuana |
| Howling in the night |
| The world will not end in fire |
| It will not end in ice |
| It will end when we arrive |
