[Intro]
G
[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
