Ramon Casiano lyrics

It all started with the border
And that’s still where it is today
Someone killed Ramon Casiano
And the killer got away
Down by the sister city’s river
Two boys with way more pride than sense
One would fall and one would prosper
Never forced to make amends

He became a border agent
And supplemented what he made
In creative deportation
And missing ammo by the case
Since bullet ran the operation
There’s hardly been a menace since
That ain’t amassing at the border
From Chinese troops to terrorists

He had the makings of a leader
Of a certain kind of men
Who need to feel the world’s against them
Out to get them if it can
Men whose triggers pull their fingers
men who would rather fight than win
United in a revolution
Like in mind and like in skin

It all started with the border
And that’s still where it is today
Down by the sister city’s river
What for sure no one can say
Killing’s been the bullets business
Since back in 1931
Someone killed Ramon Casiano
And Ramon still ain’t dead enough
