Have you smelt that border air
Have you felt that desperate stare
Have you caught that knowing glare
Have you touched that thick black hair
Just 18 in some canteen
Ice cold beers and feeling lean
Streets are filled with yells and screams
Faces full of broken dreams
He talks some smack to some doorman
Fight breaks out and cops fly in
Haul him off to el cárcel
In drunken slurs of Spanish
The savior of the boy begins
Hazy night of barter talks
Shady deals with crooked cops
Pay off goes to drop the charge
Buy his freedom on the spot
The boy is saved for one more night
He goes home to sleep it off
