Before the Wall |
| If the wall it goes up and the country comes down |
| And it’s too tall to get in too late to get out |
| And the beaches have barbed wire across every shore |
| Would you lay down your gun then you won’t need it no more |
| If the wall it goes up would the thing ever fall |
| Will it stand there forever long after we’re gone |
| As a tombstone for freedom in a world that went wrong |
| As a remind of just how far we haven’t come |
| If the wall it goes up will the temperature drop |
| Will the oil rigs that litter this land get pulled up |
| Will we find some wild new way to save where we’re at |
| Would you do it? |
| No, I doubt it where’s the money in that?' |
| If the wall it goes up and you’re stuck here inside |
| And caught with skin color some lawmen don’t like |
| Will they beat you with the same bars they throw you behind |
| If it was you would you resist, give in, or just hide? |
| If the wall it goes up and there’s no need to leave |
| Could I get all I want from the number on the screen? |
| If I dial 1−800 will you bring it to me |
| Straight to my couch the American dream |
| If the wall it goes up and your Jesus comes back |
| And he knocks on the door will you stand to attack |
| If he don’t have his papers and he don’t have much cash |
| Would you take him in, jail him, or just send him back? |
| If the wall it gets built will I get rich like you? |
| Can I buy me a fake wife and a ghostwriter too? |
| And a Rolls Royce to drive down each broke avenue |
| Smiling fat on my high horse through a ghetto so gloom |
| If the wall it goes up around the idiot king |
| And a new Joan of Arc rises against his name |
| Will you stand there beside her, burn her at the stake |
| Or glance at it there on the news the next day? |
| If the wall it gets built like the walls built before |
| Will we be forced to take sides in a new civil war? |
| Where it’s East vs West vs South vs North |
| Versus people with money versus people so poor |
| If the wall it goes up do you think it could stop |
| The bombs coming in from countries you pissed off |
| With your big mouth blowing up like the 4th of July |
| Shut it Donald, shut it please man we don’t want to die |
| But, if the wall it stays down and the people stay free |
| And it’s not quite as bad as you said it would be |
| What if I let you be you and you let me be me |
| It’s a song before the wall for all us to sing |
| It’s a song before the wall for all us to sing |
