Album: No More Beautiful World (2007)

  • Anything you want, that you don't need
    La cocaina, las armas, or the weed
    Como Villa, como Zapata, como Guevara, como yo
    I am Capitan of my own ship!
    Soy un pangero!

    I provide a little seen, little known, ma & pa, homegrown service to society
    I got your spice at a very fine price, now…
    Choose your variety

    No radar, no runnin' lights, no radio
    The torches blinking on the shore tell when to come and where to go
    And I don't believe in the satellite, computer, GPS
    My faith is the horizon…
    My compass, my best guess

    You name the time, you name the place, you name the contraband
    I will be there dark of night or light of day
    I guarantee delivery by air, by sea or land
    That's how I make a lot of easy money, baby…
    The hard way…

    Despite the bribes I pay, my trade receives official censure
    "But it's not just a job," as the gringos say, no "It's an adventure!"

    For every night I have run, I prefer the moon to the sun
    For every fight I have won, I prefer the knife to the gun
    And any bridge I never burned, I never crossed
    And every fight I never picked, I never lost
    We got a wild blue yonder, wild frontier
    Ain't we got the makings of a fine, fine career!
    Shore to shore the sea I run 200 kilometers wide
    Keep your eyes peeled, head down, hand steady; throttle ready to run…nowhere to hide
    The machete, the silence and the darkness are my friends
    Yeah I know I gotta a date with Fate, I know not where or when… Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
