Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'Who's the criminal now?'
Well, let it be said there are musicians worse than me too, John my friend. Here are some lyrics. There is a Spanish version being sung on the border lately too. Let me know if you'd like those. I don't know how to share the mp3 of the song but it's recorded on a BorderSongs compilation, has been sung by individuals and choruses around the nation, and if you want to hear it let me know.
WHO'S THE CRIMINAL
coro
TELL ME WHO TELL ME WHO
WHO'S THE CRIMINAL HERE
DIME QUIEN DIME QUIEN
QUIEN ES EL CRIMINAL
IF YOU'VE HAD TO LEAVE YOUR LAND
AND YOU MEET YOUR MATCH ON BURNING SAND
THEN SOMEONE LENDS A HELPING HAND
WHO'S THE CRIMINAL HERE ...coro
BORDERMAN WON'T LET YOU THROUGH
WHAT'S A POOR MAN GONNA DO
BUSINESSMAN'S GOT WORK FOR YOU
WHO'S THE CRIMINAL HERE ...coro
FRAMING LAWS AND AIMING GUNS
KEEPS YOU DOWN AND ON THE RUN
HOW WILL YOU FEED YOUR LITTLE ONES
WHO'S THE CRIMINAL HERE ...coro
WHEN YOUR SKIN IS RED OR BROWN
OR BLACK AND BLUE ON WHITE MAN'S GROUND
AND YOUR HEAD IS PIERCED WITH A THORNY CROWN
WHO'S THE CRIMINAL HERE ...coro
I KNOW HOW FEAR CAN LEAVE YOU BLIND
TO THE HOPEFUL HEART AND THE OPEN MIND
BUT TO MAKE A CRIME OUT OF BEING KIND
WHO'S THE CRIMINAL HERE ...coro
I CAN SHUT MY EYES AND TURN AWAY
SHUT MY MOUTH - NOTHING TO SAY
SHOULD SOMEONE DIE IN MY DESERT TODAY
WHO'S THE CRIMINAL HERE ...coro
