The Wall

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

You don't have to launch your missile to break down my defense

You don't need to fighter a jet to end our arguments

We don't have to be like everyone to use our common sense

So I guess it's time we burned the documents

'Cause you're crazy I'm crazy and there ain't a thing to lose

Except our pride at suicide of all we've ever knew

And somewhere is where east and west and the wall is coming down

Some times we celebrate other times we say what have we done

And I feel you're holding on and I'm holding on too

But no matter what we say or do the wall is coming down

The wall is coming down

Down

I see you come around

'Cause the wall is coming down

I don't have to build a fortress to hide what you can't see

I don't have to be the master and hold on to the key

Sometimes I feel so certain that we were meant to be

But I guess it's fine if you disagree

'Cause I'm crazy and you're crazy and there ain't a thing to lose

Except our pride at suicide of all we've ever knew

And somewhere is where east and west and the wall is coming down

Some times we celebrate other times we say what have we done

And I feel you're holding on and I'm holding on too

But no matter what we say or do the wall is coming down

The wall is coming down

Down

I see you come around

'Cause the wall is coming down

So whenever we turn the wheel peace talking make a deal

You remind me of Palestine and I feel so Israel

Look at all the walls I've built and look at all the guards you've killed

And if the gates would open would it be more loving

Or would all my fears turn real

So for now I suppress your demonstration and I undress you here's the question

This love making a masturbation if every touch feels like instigation

I'm so sure if we all trusted the force of love

Even if our past is awful also break our pride in the torso

Whatever it takes for down these walls go

And somewhere is where east and west and the wall is coming down

Some times we celebrate other times we say what have we done

And I feel you're holding on and I'm holding on too

But no matter what we say or do the wall is coming down

The wall is coming down

Down

I see you come around

'Cause the wall is coming down
