Lyrics The Prophet Is a Fool - Brad Mehldau

The Prophet Is a Fool

They’re getting closer
I know
What should we do?
Let’s get out of here, let’s run for the hills
Build that wall, build that wall, build that wall, build that wall
Who’s he?
He’s just their voice, he speaks for them
They’re just scared, they think he makes them stronger
Does he?
No, he weakens them
Then they’re not dangerous actually
No, they are dangerous
Deep inside they suspect they’re getting fucked over but they’re too proud to
admit it
They don’t wanna hear it from us
He tells them we’re the enemy
But if they’re weak, why are they dangerous?
They have guns, lots of guns
And they’re not for hunting
(Build that wall, build that wall, build that wall, build that wall)
They’re coming back
