[Intro]
G
[Verse]
GIf the wall it goes Dup and the Gcountry comes Cdown
And it’s Gtoo tall to Dget in too Clate to get Gout
And the Gbeaches have Dbarbed wire 'cross Gevery Cshore
Would you Glay down your Dgun then you won’t Cneed it no Gmore
If the Gwall it goes Dup would the Gthing ever Cfall
Will it Gstand there forDever long Cafter we’re Ggone
As a Gtombstone for Dfreedom in a Gworld that went Cwrong
A reGminder of Djust how far Cwe haven’t Gcome
If the Gwall it goes Dup will the Gtemperature Cdrop
Will the Goil rigs that Dlitter this Cland get pulled Gup
Will we Gfind some wild Dnew way to Gsave where we’re Cat
Would you Gdo it? No, I Ddoubt it where’s the Cmoney in Gthat?’
If the Gwall it goes Dup and you’re Gstuck here inCside
And Gcaught with skin Dcolor some Clawmen don’t Glike
Will they Gbeat you with the Dsame bars they Gthrow you beChind
If it was Gyou would you Dresist, give Cin, or just Ghide?
If the Gwall it goes Dup and there’s Gno need to Cleave
Could I Gget all I Dwant from the Cnumber on the Gscreen?
If I Gdial 1-8D00 will you Gbring it to Cme
GStraight to my Dcouch the ACmerican Gdream
If the Gwall it goes Dup and your GJesus comes Cback
And he Gknocks on the Ddoor will you Cstand to atGtack
If he Gdon’t have his Dpapers and he Gdon’t have much Ccash
Would you Gtake him in, Djail him, or Cjust send him Gback?
If the Gwall it gets Dbuilt will I Gget rich like Cyou?
Can I Gbuy me a Dfake wife and a Cghostwriter Gtoo?
And a GRolls Royce to Ddrive down each Gbroke aveCnue
Smiling Gfat on my Dhigh horse through a Cghetto so Ggloom
If the Gwall it goes Dup around the Gidiot Cking
And a Gnew Joan of DArc rises Cagainst his Gname
Will you Gstand there beDside her, burn Gher at the Cstake
Or Gglance at it Dthere on the Cnews the next Gday?
If the Gwall it gets Dbuilt like the Gwalls built beCfore
Will we Gbe forced to Dtake sides in a Cnew civil Gwar?
Where it’s GEast vs DWest vs GSouth vs CNorth
Versus Gpeople with Dmoney versus Cpeople so Gpoor
If the Gwall it goes Dup do you Gthink it could Cstop
The Gbombs coming Din from counCtries you pissed Goff
With your Gbig mouth blowing Dup like the G4th of JuCly
Shut it GDonald, shut it Dplease man we Cdon’t wanna Gdie
But, if the Gwall it stays Ddown and the Gpeople stay Cfree
And it’s Gnot quite as Dbad as you Csaid it would Gbe
What if GI let you Dbe you and you Glet me be Cme
That’s a Gsong before the Dwall for Call us to Gsing
It’s a Gsong before the Dwall for Call C/Bus  C/Ato  Gsing

Before The Wall

by Kyle Craft

Lyrics & chords · Original key

[Intro]

[Verse]

G D G C

If the wall it goes up and the country comes down

G D C G

And it’s too tall to get in too late to get out

G D G C

And the beaches have barbed wire 'cross every shore

G D C G

Would you lay down your gun then you won’t need it no more

G D G C

If the wall it goes up would the thing ever fall

G D C G

Will it stand there forever long after we’re gone

G D G C

As a tombstone for freedom in a world that went wrong

G D C G

A reminder of just how far we haven’t come

G D G C

If the wall it goes up will the temperature drop

G D C G

Will the oil rigs that litter this land get pulled up

G D G C

Will we find some wild new way to save where we’re at

G D C G

Would you do it? No, I doubt it where’s the money in that?’

G D G C

If the wall it goes up and you’re stuck here inside

G D C G

And caught with skin color some lawmen don’t like

G D G C

Will they beat you with the same bars they throw you behind

G D C G

If it was you would you resist, give in, or just hide?

G D G C

If the wall it goes up and there’s no need to leave

G D C G

Could I get all I want from the number on the screen?

G D G C

If I dial 1-800 will you bring it to me

G D C G

Straight to my couch the American dream

G D G C

If the wall it goes up and your Jesus comes back

G D C G

And he knocks on the door will you stand to attack

G D G C

If he don’t have his papers and he don’t have much cash

G D C G

Would you take him in, jail him, or just send him back?

G D G C

If the wall it gets built will I get rich like you?

G D C G

Can I buy me a fake wife and a ghostwriter too?

G D G C

And a Rolls Royce to drive down each broke avenue

G D C G

Smiling fat on my high horse through a ghetto so gloom

G D G C

If the wall it goes up around the idiot king

G D C G

And a new Joan of Arc rises against his name

G D G C

Will you stand there beside her, burn her at the stake

G D C G

Or glance at it there on the news the next day?

G D G C

If the wall it gets built like the walls built before

G D C G

Will we be forced to take sides in a new civil war?

G D G C

Where it’s East vs West vs South vs North

G D C G

Versus people with money versus people so poor

G D G C

If the wall it goes up do you think it could stop

G D C G

The bombs coming in from countries you pissed off

G D G C

With your big mouth blowing up like the 4th of July

G D C G

Shut it Donald, shut it please man we don’t wanna die

G D G C

But, if the wall it stays down and the people stay free

G D C G

And it’s not quite as bad as you said it would be

G D G C

What if I let you be you and you let me be me

G D C G

That’s a song before the wall for all us to sing

G D C C/B C/A G

It’s a song before the wall for all us to sing
