HADES

Why do we build the wall?

My children, my children

Why do we build the wall?

CERBERUS

Why do we build the wall?

We build the wall to keep us free

That's why we build the wall

We build the wall to keep us free

HADES

How does the wall keep us free?

My children, my children

How does the wall keep us free?

CERBERUS

How does the wall keep us free?

The wall keeps out the enemy

And we build the wall to keep us free

That's why we build the wall

We build the wall to keep us free

HADES

Who do we call the enemy?

My children, my children

Who do we call the enemy?

CERBERUS

Who do we call the enemy?

The enemy is poverty

And the wall keeps out the enemy

And we build the wall to keep us free

That's why we build the wall

We build the wall to keep us free

HADES

Because we have and they have not!

My children, my children

Because they want what we have got!

CERBERUS

Because we have and they have not!

Because they want what we have got!

The enemy is poverty

And the wall keeps out the enemy

And we build the wall to keep us free

That's why we build the wall

We build the wall to keep us free

HADES

What do we have that they should want?

My children, my children

What do we have that they should want?

CERBERUS

What do we have that they should want?

We have a wall to work upon!

We have work and they have none

And our work is never done

My children, my children

And the war is never won

The enemy is poverty

And the wall keeps out the enemy

And we build the wall to keep us free

That's why we build the wall

We build the wall to keep us free

We build the wall to keep us free
