Over The Border Lyrics

September 11th

Well it was Hell in Heaven

A Hell of a day

 

In the US of A

Terror hit the World Trade Center

 

In New York City

And the Pentagon

In the city of Washington

I saw it on T V

 

I thought that I was watching a movie

 

Like it was World War III

In the land of the brave and the home of the free

 

Where was 007

September 11th

 

And Superman

When they called 911

Now there's a war against terror terror

 

Terror fighting terror

 

Terror terror

 

Oh what a horror

 

Now there's a war against terror terror

Terror fighting terror

Terror terror

Oh what a horror

 

Terror terror terror

We must have a better tomorrow

 

We must have a better tomorrow now

September 11th

Another war in Heaven

All who were there

 

Said it was a living nightmare

 

But for every action

There has to be a reaction

 

This is the law of nature

 

Now we're living in the future

 

So when you're digging a ditch

 

I think you better dig two

 

One for the other man

 

And one for you

 

And when you're pointing a finger

When three points back at you

 

Be sure your hands are clean

I think you know what I mean

 

'Cause when you war against terror terror

 

Terror fighting terror

Terror terror

 

Oh what a horror

Terror terror

 

Biological

Terror terror

 

Environmental

Terror terror terror

 

We must have a better tomorrow

 

We must have a better tomorrow now

11th of September

 

The world will always

 

The year 2001

 

A new era begun

 

This was a wake-up call

 

To nations great and small

 

Terror been with you all the time

 

But you never paid it no mind

 

Oh it's the Armageddon

 

A clash of civilization

With terror fighting terror

 

Tell me who can be the hero

 

I read it in Revelation

That there would be lamentation

A tale of God and the Devil

 

 

But good must overcome evil
