lyrics

THE GREAT WALL OF AMERICA

THE BUILDING BLOCKS OF HATRED HAVE NOW BEEN PUT IN PLACE
THE ANGRY MOB HAS SPOKEN AND SHOWN ITS UGLY FACE
ATAVISTIC FLAMES ARE STOKED, NOW WATCH THE SMALL MINDS SNEER
THE GREAT WALL OF AMERICA'S A TESTAMENT TO FEAR

RUN IT UP A FLAG POLE AND LET'S SEE WHO SALUTES
THE CROOKED AND THE TWISTED STAND TALL IN CAHOOTS
A TRUMPED UP CHARGE OF 'OTHER' CAN NOW BE VIEWED A CRIME
THE GREAT WALL OF AMERICA WON'T STAND THE TEST OF TIME

YOUR POOR AND HUDDLED MASSES ARE NO LONGER WELCOME HERE
MEXICANS AND MUSLIMS HAVE EVERYTHING TO FEAR
JUST WHO'S NEXT I WONDER, ASIAN, BLACK OR JEW?
THE GREAT WALL OF AMERICA MIGHT NOT BE GREAT FOR YOU.
