Twelve heads in a bag, left on the side of the road

Found in a country God no longer knows

Twelve heads in a bag, I swear I read it yesterday

Buried like the others on page 27A

Twelve heads in a bag, lost count to my dismay

Fifty-three hundred must have all got in the way

Some of them down on the pass in old Guerrero state

Where one man's back porch is another's graveyard fate

Da-da-dum, da-da-dum, da-da-dum

Twelve heads in a bag, screaming out, 'What did they do?'

“San Antonio's the Krayolas have been one of the American Pop Underground's best-kept secrets for more than three decades . . . the band has returned with a vengeance in the 21st century.”

"Last year’s prophetic song, 'Corrido Twelve Heads in a Bag,' got the Krayolas national news attention as it addresses violence in Mexico and the US/Mexico border ... one of (NPR's) top albums of the year — along with Norah Jones, Willlie Nelson, Lady Gaga and Pearl Jam."
