| 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 |
