MEXICO
"SO FAR FROM GOD-SO NEAR TO THE USA"
THEY ALL DIED FOR MEXICO
Steve Park and The Redneck Mothers 2010

Battle lines were drawn/while the river ran blood red
Soldiers died for heaven’s/expectations in their heads

She said “oh, what the hell”, /threw caution to the wind
The moon became her lover/while she rode back home again.

Chorus:
They died for nothing,
not for you and me
Just an accident of birth
Doesn’t anybody see?

She became a mother, grandmother farther on
War took her father, husband and her son
Two died with Villa, while her father died alone
They all died for Mexico

Granddaughter’s grown and she’s lost her only son
A Federale, a drug war that can’t be won
Border of Chihuahua and everywhere you go
They all died for Mexico

Chorus
They died for nothing,
not for you and me
Just an accident of birth
Doesn’t anybody see

So the young ones line up / There’s nothing else to do
The underclass of Mexico / Where the blood don’t run so blue
It’s just like what they always say
Poor Mexico .. so far from God/ So close to the USA

Chorus
They died for nothing,
not for you and me
Just an accident of birth
Doesn’t anybody see?
