Border Crossings

We’ve got a border to secure To keep bad folks out I’m sure But a fence it must endure repeated breechings And every him and her In Congress with a cure Says our plans are immature and keep on screeching A 10 foot fence is no deterrent Sixteen’s the thinking current But bring a ladder and that’s all she wrote So maybe alligators Water too high for hip-waders We’re thinking maybe we should build a moat So let’s just build the fence in pairs In between we’ll stuff with bears Who’ll scare off most and eat up all the rest And electrify the wire Turn the power each day higher Survival of the fittest at its best So what’s each mile going to cost? The calculations all been lost But they say they’re going to figure out the bill It started out at three But grew from there you see The latest number’s something like 6 Mil And 6 million for each mile Will add up after while I mean the border’s 700 miles long But that’s just the Southern fence line We’ve a North one to build in kind Can’t we see that something has gone wrong? Just what are we protecting? What lose are we projecting And every day the cost just seems to double No matter what we do or say They’ll get across them anyway Why should we even go to all this trouble?
