Billy Bragg - Why We Build The Wall

Why do we build the wall
My children, my children
Why do we build the wall

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
How does the wall keep us free
My children, my children
How does the wall keep us free
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
Who do we call the ememy
My children, my children
Who do we call the ememy
Who do we call the ememy
The enmy 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
Because we have and they have not
My children, my children
Because they want what we have got
Because we have and they have not
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
What do we have that they should want
My children, my children
What do we have that they should want
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
Why do we build the wall
My children, my children
Why do we build the wall

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
How does the wall keep us free
My children, my children
How does the wall keep us free
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
Who do we call the ememy
My children, my children
Who do we call the ememy
Who do we call the ememy
The enmy 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
Because we have and they have not
My children, my children
Because they want what we have got
Because we have and they have not
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
What do we have that they should want
My children, my children
What do we have that they should want
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
