They’re building a giant wall
From Laredo to San Isidro
Patrol the land with water
Traffic in the city
Stay and do the work
That no one wants to do
But don’t try and matter
Work quiet, make do
This is a bad kind of reason
This is history repeating
A sweat worth nothing
A union that’s receding
In a city in the sun
In a city in the sun
In a city in the sun
In a union in the sun
