A dog about to stray would never hear his master's call:
Think twice before you slip through that security wall;
Fake papers would strand you in an airport's arrival hall -
If this journey ends so what would you do with your pride?
Don't go sneaking through each and every border post
Or fall prey to a trafficker who'd leave you with a strange host
For all you'd get is slave-like treatment at the most -
Don't let no one take you on a damned overseas ride!
If the witch doctor claims he can turn things around -
Why is he in sleazy wretchedness still found?
The trafficker'd help his own, he'd never near your ground -
Don't go fighting in a boat in the dark with a raging tide!
