Why We Build the Wall Lyrics
[00:45.31] Why do we build the wall?
[00:48.55] My children, my children
[00:51.33] Why do we build the wall?
[00:53.63]
[00:56.87] Why do we build the wall?
[00:59.82] We build the wall to keep us free
[01:02.38] That's why we build the wall
[01:04.38] We build the wall to keep us free
[01:07.57]
[01:08.68] How does the wall keep us free?
[01:11.75] My children, my children
[01:14.40] How does the wall keep us free?
[01:18.24]
[01:19.77] How does the wall keep us free?
[01:22.97] The wall keeps out the enemy
[01:25.83] And we build the wall to keep us free
[01:28.61] That's why we build the wall
[01:30.82] We build the wall to keep us free
[01:33.30]
[01:34.83] Who do we call the enemy?
[01:37.48] My children, my children
[01:40.55] Who do we call the enemy?
[01:45.42]
[01:46.31] Who do we call the enemy?
[01:49.30] The enemy is poverty
[01:51.90] And the wall keeps out the enemy
[01:54.89] And we build the wall to keep us free
[01:57.70] That's why we build the wall
[01:59.79] We build the wall to keep us free
[02:02.95]
[02:04.49] Because we have and they have not!
[02:07.13] My children, my children
[02:10.12] Because they want what we have got!
[02:13.23]
[02:15.67] Because we have and they have not!
[02:18.78] Because they want what we have got!
[02:21.30] The enemy is poverty
[02:24.07] And the wall keeps out the enemy
[02:26.97] And we build the wall to keep us free
[02:29.83] That's why we build the wall
[02:31.92] We build the wall to keep us free
[02:34.95]
[02:58.97] What do we have that they should want?
[03:02.94] My children, my children
[03:05.12] What do we have that they should want?
[03:09.04]

[03:13.91] We have a wall to work upon!
[03:16.85] We have work and they have none
[03:19.67] And our work is never done
[03:22.27] My children, my children
[03:25.04] And the war is never won
[03:27.82] The enemy is poverty
[03:30.63] And the wall keeps out the enemy
[03:33.70] And we build the wall to keep us free
[03:36.73] That's why we build the wall
[03:38.65] We build the wall to keep us free
