Lyrics

VISA

My Friend Lived With The Dream
To Step Across The Border,
To See The Other Mores,
To Try The Other Crossings.
Once He Got Off The Plane,
Surprising All The Democrats,
He Was Told With No Explanation
At The Cross-Border Cooperation –
You Need A Visa.
On The Return To His Homeland
He Was Held By The Officer.
The Officer Did Find
The Common Dominator Between Them.
The Officer Called My Friend A Traitor.
In The Neurotic Eyes Of The Officer
My Friend Had Read An Aphorism
That Here People Like My Friend Need A Visa.
Now My Friend Knows The Rules,
The Officers Are Always Right,
Our Leaders Receive Standing Ovation,
But We Are Driven Behind The Scenes.
And If You Feel Confused,
Why Often Amongst Passerby
You Are Only A Faceless Poster,
I Shall Remind You Again,
It Is All Because You Need A Visa.
