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 |
