We're all playing big games of telephone

Another night of he told her what they told him that she told me now thats what

We call look and see when we turn on the TV

There's a man down south tryna cross the border

Running drugs and guns

Made his way past the DEA not a care for anyone

Dead or alive, he'll shoot you in the face with that .45

There's a man down south tryna cross the border

Just tryna pave his way

Got his pretty lady back at home and his first one on the way

He's okay, working in the Texas heat on the highway

Swing way down low in Juarez

South of the border, sweltering heat

Stifling drama, struggling survival

Tryna make a change, make life better

Tryna rearrange the game got me down

Across the border wasn't lovers to be found

Is there a better life for our sons and daughters?

We've got to try, there's nothing left to lose

We all hear facts and think they're true

What they told us got misconstrued

We got played so we're the fools

We got played so we're the fools anyway

We're all playing big games of telephone
