《Higher Wall》歌词

[00:00:02] Higher Wall - New Model Army

[00:00:28] We're out here on the borders with

[00:00:30] Our favourite few possessions

[00:00:34] Traded stories whispered round the fire

[00:00:38] As shadows in the searchlights mugshots in the files

[00:00:45] Waiting in the camps behind the wire

[00:00:51] Kick the door until it opens

[00:00:54] What you have you cannot hold

[00:00:57] We are young forever hungry you are fat and growing old

[00:01:03] Every day you try to build a higher wall

[00:01:07] A higher wall

[00:01:09] Still every day you try to build a higher wall

[00:01:12] We pick the leaves of coca we stack the crates of cola

[00:01:26] We wait upon the tables where you dine

[00:01:33] And learn from you not to accept

[00:01:35] The little that we're given

[00:01:38] To take the piece of silver where we can

[00:01:41] Now clutching at these papers in another office line

[00:01:50] We're staring from the darkness up

[00:01:53] At windows filled with light

[00:01:56] And every day you try to build a higher wall

[00:02:02] And every day you try to build a higher wall

[00:02:08] And every day you try to build a higher wall

[00:02:14] And every day you try to build a higher wall

[00:02:26] In my town we used to pray to idols sent from far away

[00:02:32] From out beyond the dusty days we heard your voices call

[00:02:38] And in your town the streets are cleaned

[00:02:40] The order stands the sirens scream

[00:02:43] You talk of peace vacation dreams - and reinforce the wall

[00:02:47] Now in the queues at immigration in the border zone

[00:03:18] We are your bastard children all coming home

[00:03:28] And every day you try to build a higher wall

[00:03:31] Every day you try to build a higher wall

[00:03:37] But your money cannot stop us

[00:03:39] And you violence cannot stop us

[00:03:42] No you will never stop us with your higher wall
