The Story of Jose Antonio

lyrics

Ten Bullets in the Back
by Bradley Lauretti

Open season on the border touch that fence and die
They say that we love freedom but does that make us right
One night the kids were playing a Zephyr told its tale
Too late the gun was unloading and on his back he fell

Ten bullets in the back, Ten bullets in the back

All his friends just scattered Looking for some help
They were just gathering food and now his momma wails
Nogales, Arizona Sonora, Mexico
Just one hour from Tucson where the walnuts used to grow

Ten bullets in the back, Ten Bullets in the back

The people held a vigil the tape it disappeared
When they tried to testify they silenced them with fear
It went up to the peoples court and this is where we sigh
If your body falls on mexico your family can not fight?

Is this really justice can’t you see we failed
What do we really stand for when murder is a fact
Ten bullets in the back, Ten Bullets in the back
