Lyrics

Boy of Dust on the edge of town
G Men checking papers all around
No Sound but the dawn
Death squad on the lawn
Keep the curtains drawn
Pass a cigarette along.
Boy of Dust just a shadow on the street
He has no numbers he must be so discreet
He takes a sip of Jack
Grabs an Uzi off the rack
And settles in with Rita to wait for the attack.
Boy of Dust in a bin of broken words
Going over all the stories he has heard
If someone asks for his papers one more time
He's pretty sure that someone's going to die.
He says, I don't know
maybe it's just me
But I still remember what it means to be free
Boy of Dust, Freedom Lust, Boy of Dust, Freedom Rust.

Boy of Dust Stranger in his own land
G Men stealing everything that they can
He gives no shelter and he leaves no address
Can't seem to find a way out of this mess
Repeat 1st verse and chorus
