Lyrics Why We Build the Wall - Tom Robinson Live Buxton Opera House, 21st January 2017 - Billy Bragg
Why
do
we
build
the
wall?
My
children,
my
children
Why
do
we
build
the
wall?
Why
do
we
build
the
wall?
We
build
the
wall
to
keep
us
free
That's
why
We
build
the
wall
we
build
the
wall
To
keep
us
free
How
does
the
wall
keep
us
free?
My
children,
my
children
How
does
the
wall
keep
us
free?
How
does
the
wall
keep
us
free?
The
wall
keeps
out
the
enemy
And
we
build
the
wall
to
keep
us
free
That's
why
We
build
the
wall
we
build
the
wall
To
keep
us
free
Who
do
we
call
the
ememy?
My
children,
my
children
Who
do
we
call
the
ememy?
Who
do
we
call
the
ememy?
The
enmy
is
poverty
And
the
wall
keeps
out
the
enemy
And
we
build
the
wall
to
keep
us
free
That's
why
We
build
the
wall
we
build
the
wall
To
keep
us
free
Because
we
have
and
they
have
not
My
children,
my
children
Because
they
want
what
we
have
got
Because
we
have
and
they
have
not
The
enemy
is
poverty
And
the
wall
keeps
out
the
enemy
And
we
build
the
wall
to
keep
us
free
That's
why
we
build
the
wall
We
build
the
wall
to
keep
us
free
What
do
we
have
that
they
should
want?
My
children,
my
children
What
do
we
have
that
they
should
want?
What
do
we
have
that
they
should
want?
We
have
a
wall
to
work
upon
We
have
work
and
they
have
none
And
our
work
is
never
done
My
children,
my
children
And
the
war
is
never
won
The
enemy
is
poverty
And
the
wall
keeps
out
the
enemy
And
we
build
the
wall
to
keep
us
free
That's
why
we
build
the
wall
We
build
the
wall
to
keep
us
free
We
build
the
wall
to
keep
us
free
