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 |
