about

This is a song about division.
There's a lot of that these days.
It appears to be something of a default position for our species in times of upheaval.
I suspect this instinct is not serving us well.

lyrics

The wall has come between us
I cannot stare it down
We fight upon the beaches
We yield the higher ground

The wall has come between us
It’s blocking out the sun
All hail the stable genius
Sing a prayer and clean your gun

Build it up high
And build it up strong
Everybody choose a side
Switch off and sing along

The wall has come between us
We’re told it’s for the best
The Devil holds a mirror
And nature does the rest

The wall has come between us
Does anybody know
If these fences make good neighbours
Berlin to Jericho

Build it up high
And build it up strong
Everybody choose a side
Switch off and sing along

The wall has come between us
Was there ever any doubt
That we should fear the enemy within
More than the enemy without?

Build it up high
And build it up strong
Everybody choose a side
Switch off and sing along

The wall has come between us
Divided we must fall
And somewhere in the ashes we’ll forget
Why we ever thought to build this wall
