THE GREAT WALL
Great Wall of China / It’s so big it’s seen from outer space / Put there to keep starving neighbors / Locked outside the gates / What’s changed today? / Empires hoard more then they need / And peasants threaten our comfort / We’ll build a Great Wall around our power / Build a Great Wall around our power / Bankrupt L.A.’s streetcar line / So people pay more to drive / Plant strategic freeways / To divide neighborhoods by color lines / We’d rather pay for riot squads / Than pump your ghetto back to life / We let your schools decay on purpose / To build a Great Wall around our power / Another Great Wall around our power / Warlords in grey suits / Take a different route to work each day / Second-hand green berets / Form the companies’ private armies. / We’ll take all your gold / But won’t teach reading or feed your poor / The League of Gentlemen / Would rather feed guns to puppet dictators / There’s too many people in your world / And Refugees are expensive / When they trickle down onto our soil / We hunt them and arrest them / Classify them insane / And put them back on the next plane / To the waiting arms / Of the same death squads they fled / We’ve built a Great Wall around our power / Economic Great Wall around our power / Worldwide Great Wall around our power / Give us your poor, / Your tired and your weak / We’ll send ‘em right back / To their certain death
