Mexico Hurt My Soul

strip club in mexico i went there today didn't have a drink or time to think my heart it just wouldn't get past the fast fickle lust it would not let me think thought i might bust and break into a teary sobbing lake at that time i feel regret i let my friend pay a girl to go out back and give herself away twenty dollars was all she was worth to him maybe i can just buy new friends the ones i have right now drive me to want to be much better than they are complaining forever again and again and again about the little luxuries they live without while we weld a fence of steel to keep these desperate imigrants out of our country land of the free home of the brave home of slaves to greed false sense of need uncaring and selfish well i won't reserve this love for a dollar sign they don't deserve if they have to pay for a body like mine i'm not that way anymore not that kind of way and nothing and no one for mexico i went there today was a standing witness to true blue desperate and quiet fake bliss will i go there again don't think i will just build this fence and go home back to south dakota because i just want to be done the us army isn't always much fun mexico isn't what it's cracked up to be but sometimes neither is the land of the brave and the home of the free
