Building a Wall

Protection, prevention, detection, detention
There's nowhere to defect to anymore
Protection, prevention, detection, detention
There's nowhere to defect to anymoreI'm building a wall, a fine wall
Not so much to keep you out, more to keep me in
I'm building a wall, a fine wall
Not so much to keep you out, more to keep me inBack then on a bomb site we were spies among the ruins
Such precocious barbarians, on TV we saw cold warProtection, prevention, detection, detention
There's nowhere to defect to anymore
Protection, prevention, detection, detention
There's nowhere to defect to anymoreI'm leaving the world, it's all wrong
Not so much what men are doing much more what they're not
I'm building a wall, a fine wall
Not so much to keep you out, more to keep me inJesus and The Man from U.N.C.L.E.
Caesar conquered Gaul scouting for centurions on a Roman wallThrough the woods, the trees and further on the sea
We lived in the shadow of the war
Sand in the sandwiches wasps in the tea, it was a free country
Who do you think you are, Captain Britain?I'm building a wall, a fine wall
Not so much to keep you out, more to keep me in
I'm losing my head, well why not?
More wood for the undertaker means there's less for meI'm building a wall, a fine wall
Not so much to keep you out, more to keep me in
I'm building a wall, a fine wall
Not so much to keep you out, more to keep me inI'm building a wall, a fine wall
Not so much to keep you out, more to keep me in
