Lyrics

Why do we build the wall My children, my children? Why do we build the wall? Why do we build the wall? We build the wall to keep us free That's why we build the wall We build the wall to keep us free How does the wall keep us free My children, my children? How does the wall keep us free? How does the wall keep us free? The wall keeps out the enemy And we build the wall to keep us free That's why we build the wall We build the wall to keep us free Who do we call the enemy My children, my children? Who do we call the enemy? Who do we call the enemy? The enemy is poverty And the wall keeps out the enemy And we build the wall to keep us free That's why we build the wall We build the wall to keep us free Because we have and they have not, My children, my children Because they want what we have got Because we have and they have not Because they want what we have got The enemy is poverty And the wall keeps out the enemy And we build the wall to keep us free That's why we build the wall We build the wall to keep us free What do we have that they should want My children, my children? What do we have that they should want? What do we have that they should want? We have a wall to work upon We have work and they have none And our work is never done! My children, my children! And the war is never won The enemy is poverty And the wall keeps out the enemy And we build the wall to keep us free That's why we build the wall We build the wall to keep us free We build the wall to keep us free... Then Hades told Eurydice: There are papers to be signed. Step into my office And he closed the door behind Now, a lot can happen behind closed doors; That's for sure, brother, that's a fact! But a lot can happen on the factory Floor, when the foreman turns his back Anybody want a drink?
