"Walls" lyrics

"Walls"

Your ignorance
Will be your fall from grace
Martyrs and morons to the slaughter

No one will keep their place
No one will respect your space
How can you not know this?
'Tis the human race

You have no history
Just some political mystery
Some new conceit
Without teeth

All of these walls
That you find around you
All of these walls
So lovingly surrounding you

Hand over your keys
If you don't need these
Go be a friend
A friend and a thief
De-fund your grief
Defend your police

Acknowledge these walls
That you find around you
Acknowledge these walls
So lovingly surrounding you

Locks on your door
What are they there for?
Wires and fences
Are they not divisions and defences?
Protections in place
From the human race

And all of these walls
That you find around you
All of these walls
So lovingly surrounding you

So what have you done or given
That should be so easily taken
By the dumb and lazy at life?
Think once and then think twice
Because this could cost you your life

And all of these walls
That you find around you
All of these walls
So lovingly surrounding you

The martyrs are morons
To the here-after
If slaughter you're after
You'll get your disaster

And all of these walls
Do they impound you?
All of these walls
All of them
They come to protect you
