We wrap ‘em around us
Put ‘em down inside us
Those walls
Everybody’s got ‘em
Their own
Private kingdom of walls
You say I can’t look through you
I will never get to you
At all
But the message is plain
There’s a mess in your brain
You got walls
No matter what we try
The story’s in our eyes
The truth is deep inside
But we just go on
We just go on
Buildin’ those walls
Those walls
Walls
There are a million reasons
And it’s always the season
For walls
What color do you like dear
We know it’s so wrong
But we keep addin’ on to
Those walls
Mothers and daughters
And brothers and sisters
Got walls
Between dominations
And within your congregations
There are walls
No matter what we try
The truth is in our eyes
Why do we always hide
We just go on
We just keep on
Keep on
Walls
Buildin’ those walls
We think we’re bein’ clever
Such sly
Sly sinners
With walls
I ain’t afraid of no walls
But the truth of the matter is
We don’t fool the Master
At all
Don’t you think it’s time
We had a change of mind
Get out your axe and swing
Knock ‘em all down
Knock ‘em all down
Knock ‘em all down
Knock ‘em all down
Knock down those walls
