The wall that stands beside your tulip tree
Is cold and threatening to me
I've seen you daring me to sit on it
So you can come and shout at me
You need a bigger wall
You need a bigger wall
You need a bigger wall to keep the neighbour's kids out
The wall that crumbled into history
Is there for everyone to see
But soldiers crouching in a foreign land
Will never ever quite believe
You need a bigger wall
You need a bigger wall
You need a bigger wall so that the world keeps turning
Higher than the mountains
Higher than the eagle
Higher than the eye can see
I walk along the wall with heavy feet
And see the strangers on both sides
I shiver in the mist of ignorance
And weep at civilising lies
You need a bigger wall
You need a bigger wall
You need a bigger wall to keep the whole world out
