Building A Wall
Protection (prevention) Detection (detention) There's no where to defect to any more [x2] I'm building a wall A fine wall Not so much to keep you out More to keep me in [x2] Back then on a bomb site We were spies among the ruins Such precocious barbarians On TV we saw Cold War Protection (prevention) Detection (detention) There's no where to defect to any more [x2] I'm leaving the world It's all wrong Not so much what many are doing Much more what's within us Songtexte I'm building a wall A fine wall Not so much to keep you out More to keep me in Jesus and the man from Angol (?)

I'm building a wall A fine wall Not so much to keep you out More to keep me in I'm losing my head Well, why not? More work for the undertaker Means there's less for me I'm building a wall A fine wall Not so much to keep you out More to keep me in [x3] Aus Songtexte Mania
