Protection (prevention)
Detection (detention)
There's no where to defect to any more
I'm building a wall
A fine wall
Not so much to keep you out
More to keep me in
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
Protection (prevention)
Detection (detention)
There's no where to defect to any more
I'm leaving the world
It's all wrong.
Not so much what many are doing?
Much more what's within us?
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 Angola
Caesar conquered Gaul
Scouting for Centurions
On a Roman war
Through the woods, the trees
And further on, the sea
We lived in the shadow of the wall
Sand in the sandwiches
Wasps in the tea
It was a free country
(Who do you think you are, Captain Britain?)
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
I'm building a wall
A fine wall
Not so much to keep you out
More to keep me in
I'm building a wall
A fine wall
Not so much to keep you out
More to keep me in
