Me and all the mates are sailing on Down the colorado river, gone These men have a liking to be free And this is all the land we'll ever need They called it our suicide But all around us now curls the breeze And you must know it's hard to see reality Meanwhile we've been working to the bone Knocking up this letter to the queen But we'll never make it through the seas With every little letter in tow In this town it remains to be seen But i know i love you so But it's never up up above It's always sweeping down in the streets below They called it our suicide But all around us now curls the breeze And you must know it's hard to see reality Now we're in this country living free And we got that same mentality How the colorado used to flow Now your neighbor's greener grasses grow My name is not joaquin but i know- It still goes The cats who moved that border down We're the same ones who just stole your homes
