[00:05.43]
[00:28.06] We're out here on the borders with
[00:30.77] Our favourite few possessions
[00:34.02] Traded stories whispered round the fire
[00:38.77] As shadows in the searchlights mugshots in the files
[00:45.77] Waiting in the camps behind the wire
[00:51.73] Kick the door until it opens
[00:54.85] What you have you cannot hold
[00:57.78] We are young forever hungry you are fat and growing old
[01:03.62] Every day you try to build a higher wall
[01:07.78] A higher wall
[01:09.83] Still every day you try to build a higher wall
[01:12.39] We pick the leaves of coca we stack the crates of cola
[01:26.66] We wait upon the tables where you dine
[01:33.40] And learn from you not to accept
[01:35.88] The little that we're given
[01:38.84] To take the piece of silver where we can
[01:41.66] Now clutching at these papers in another office line
[01:50.61] We're staring from the darkness up
[01:53.53] At windows filled with light
[01:56.66] And every day you try to build a higher wall
[02:02.97] And every day you try to build a higher wall
[02:08.83] And every day you try to build a higher wall
[02:14.95] And every day you try to build a higher wall
[02:20.75]
[02:26.79] In my town we used to pray to idols sent from far away
[02:32.13] From out beyond the dusty days we heard your voices call
[02:38.29] And in your town the streets are cleaned
[02:40.66] The order stands the sirens scream
[02:43.90] You talk of peace vacation dreams - and reinforce the wall
[02:47.63] Now in the queues at immigration in the border zone
[03:18.95] We are your bastard children all coming home
[03:28.15] And every day you try to build a higher wall
[03:31.64] Every day you try to build a higher wall
[03:37.18] But your money cannot stop us
[03:39.66] And you violence cannot stop us
[03:42.64] No you will never stop us with your higher wall
