You Built A Wall

Lyrics/Music: Don de Leaumont

Mister developer pulled in with his trucks and his crew from way across town.

One by one the sound of 10,000 guns levelled those old houses down.

A wall was erected along with a gate that opens and shuts on command.

To keep us commoners on the outside from infecting their fairy tale land.

A brick wall 10 feet high, up to the sky.

A compound of glutony and sin.

You built a wall to keep me out, but I like to think

That your wall keeps your rich ass locked in.

Three stories high, a million square feet and a tub that costs more than my car.

A cocaine habit, a straying wife and a Hummer parked out by the yard.

How can a person measure their happiness in square feet, marble and gold.

Then the market it fell and it crumbled to hell.  Your happiness bought and then sold. 

A brick wall 10 feet high, up to the sky.

A compound of glutony and sin.

You built a wall to keep me out, but I like to think

That your wall keeps your rich ass locked in.
