APOLOGETIX - It's Tough lyrics

rate me

Our wall's so high you would not recognize<br />

But fire burned and minimized the way it sat for all my life<br />

Kissed Persia goodbye, you see I brought a plan<br />

To get Jerusalem strong again<br />

The wall was where I'd start - Oh! <br />

<br />

It's a tough task making this wall complete<br />

We said goodbye to dinnertime and sports<br />

There are kids making some fun of me<br />

And I hope those boys, Sanballat and Tobias, get bored - Whooho<br />

They tried their best to keep us occupied<br />

Said they'd come in with their knives<br />

It's hard but we work side by side<br />

Oh, kept saying stuff 'bout me that's just insane<br />

Pretending I built this thing<br />

To turn around and be the king - whatever<br />

<br />

This wall has taken us seven weeks<br />

Three days till I can finish up the doors<br />

Wal-Mart did make a good wall for cheap<br />

But I had no choice 'cause I don't live nearby any stores – no oh oh<br />

<br />

I fixed this broken thing, repaired these openings<br />

I ain't your average Pink Floyd guy (Nehemiah, me oh my)<br />

I can't sing all their hits, but I know "Another Brick"<br />

Let me sing for you 'dause I'm Nehemiah how do you do?<br />

<br />

Ezra has taken the scroll to read<br />

We said goodbye to sins we tried before<br />

Four hundred and forty-four B.C. and I have no Floyd<br />

And I can't play guitar like Gilmore<br />

<br />

It's rough just making this song funny<br />

We had to try and then we tried some more<br />

And I'd like to break the monotony<br />

We say Maroon 5 should end it at the chorus<br />

<br />

Guess what I'm making this all up here<br />

Read Nehemiah and Ezra right before<br />

Work hard and pray with a fervency<br />

But I have no voice so I will fade this right here for sure</
