《These Walls》歌词

[00:03:08] These Walls - Don Johnson Big Band

[00:03:08] Don John Big Band, I like it. Thunky.

[00:03:08] Why we go and try to build a wall when they can tear it down

[00:03:08] Or drill some more, it won't scare them out

[00:03:08] For we try to wear them out but can never outlast

[00:03:08] The resistance and fight in the bitter outcasts

[00:03:08] Only want a fair amount like everyone else does

[00:03:08] We don't wanna give it up. It's like they're against us

[00:03:08] Pretentious or not, we go lecture and drop

[00:03:08] Relief from above with no mention of crops

[00:03:08] They could export for their benefit and hope

[00:03:08] If free trade really meant development and growth

[00:03:08] But it doesn't, it's a crime in the form of a lesson

[00:03:08] We're giving to the poor, and the more we're professing

[00:03:08] To support them, the more ridiculous we sound

[00:03:08] They're forced to spend with no stimulus around

[00:03:08] No billions invested, it kinda makes you wonder

[00:03:08] Just watch the telethon, and dial that number

[00:03:08] These walls

[00:03:08] Are made for climbing across, we all

[00:03:08] Free fall when there's a line

[00:03:08] To be crossed, be strong

[00:03:08] Peace calls

[00:03:08] And we can find it

[00:03:08] Across these walls

[00:03:08] These walls are made for

[00:03:08] Climbing across, be strong

[00:03:08] Now I insist with the careful precision of a scientist

[00:03:08] That you can't rule the people with an iron fist

[00:03:08] Or like lion dressed in a lion's clothing

[00:03:08] Or a tyrant messed in the head like

[00:03:08] Lukashenko or Robert Mugabe

[00:03:08] Whether Kosovo or the province of Aceh

[00:03:08] The Gaza strip with its modern apartheid

[00:03:08] Every massacre is not a hard enough heartache

[00:03:08] To intervene in, sometimes it gets too

[00:03:08] Inconvenient to pretend to free them

[00:03:08] When they end up bleeding or they brave aggrievance

[00:03:08] All we really care about are trade agreements

[00:03:08] Is it make believe, people suffer in vain

[00:03:08] If this playful beat can make enough of a wave

[00:03:08] I'm gonna hop on a stage and try to make things even

[00:03:08] May not be a great achievement, effort is what counts

[00:03:08] Now make an effort and just bounce!

[00:03:08] These walls

[00:03:08] Are made for climbing across, we all

[00:03:08] Free fall when there's a line

[00:03:08] To be crossed, be strong

[00:03:08] Peace calls

[00:03:08] And we can find it

[00:03:08] Across these walls

[00:03:08] These walls are made for

[00:03:08] Climbing across, be strong

[00:03:08] Blood covers the ground and colors the soil

[00:03:08] For diamonds, for God, and for barrels of oil

[00:03:08] Hours of toil in a mine or a sweatshop

[00:03:08] Or selling counterfeit bags at a rest stop

[00:03:08] The best option for far too many

[00:03:08] Is worse than we can fathom or imagine for a penny

[00:03:08] Poverty is not a disease, it's a symptom

[00:03:08] Their ruin is our doing, ain't no cure unless we link them

[00:03:08] These walls

[00:03:08] Are made for climbing across, we all

[00:03:08] Free fall when there's a line

[00:03:08] To be crossed, be strong

[00:03:08] Peace calls

[00:03:08] And we can find it

[00:03:08] Across these walls

[00:03:08] These walls are made for

[00:03:08] Climbing across, be strong

[00:03:08] (2x)
