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

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

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

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

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

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

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
