The Great Wall — текст песни (dead kennedys)

Great wall of china

Its so big its seen from outer space

Put there to keep starving neighbors

Locked outside the gates



Whats changed today?

Empires hoard more than they need

And peasants threaten our comfort



Well build a great wall around our power

Build a great wall around our power



Bankrupt l.a.s streetcar line

So people pay more to drive

Plant strategic freeways

To divide neighborhoods by color lines



Wed rather pay for riot squads

Than pump your ghetto back to life

We let your schools decay on purpose



To build a great wall around our power

Another great wall around our power



Warlords in grey suits

Take a different route to work each day

Second-hand green berets

Form the companies private armies.

Well take all your gold

But wont teach reading or feed your poor

The league of gentleman

Would rather feed guns to puppet dictators



Theres too many people in your world

And refugees are expensive

When they trickled down onto our soil

We hunt them and arrest them

Classify them insane

And put them back on the next plane

To the waiting arms

Of the same death squads they fled



Weve built a great wall around our power

Economic great wall around our power

Worldwide great wall around our power



Give us your poor,

Your tired and your weak

Well send em right back

To their certain death
