Why We Build the Wall |
HADES |
Why do we build the wall? |
My children, my children |
Why do we build the wall? |
CERBERUS |
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 |
HADES |
How does the wall keep us free? |
My children, my children |
How does the wall keep us free? |
CERBERUS |
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 |
HADES |
Who do we call the enemy? |
My children, my children |
Who do we call the enemy? |
CERBERUS |
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 |
HADES |
Because we have and they have not! |
My children, my children |
Because they want what we have got! |
CERBERUS |
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 |
HADES |
What do we have that they should want? |
My children, my children |
What do we have that they should want? |
CERBERUS |
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 |
