Border Song

by Elton John and Bernie Taupin

Holy Moses, I have been removed.
I have seen the specter, he has been here too.
A distant cousin from down the line, brand of people who ain't my kind.
Holy Moses, I have been removed.

Holy Moses, I have been deceived.
Now the wind has changed direction and I'll have to leave.
Won't you please excuse my frankness, it's not my cup of tea.
Holy Moses, I have been deceived.

I'm going back to the border where my affairs,
My affairs ain't abused.
I can't take any more bad water,
I'm poisoned from my head down to my shoes.

Holy Moses, let us live in peace.
Let us strive to find a way to make all hatred cease.
There's a man standing over there. What is his color? I don't care.
He's my brother, let us live in peace.
He's my brother, let us live in peace.
He's my brother, let us live, let us live in peace.

Holy Moses.
Holy Moses.
Holy Moses.
Holy Moses.
