Carving Up The World Again...A Wall And Not A Fence
The Russians, the Americans, the British and the French They're carving up the world again, it's getting kind of tense A whole lotta posture and very little sense It's no surprise they hide behind a wall and not a fence The Irish and the English and the Scottish and the Welsh A damp and misty history they keep it to themselves All lost in dark antiquity and smouldering descent Invisible divisions "behind a wall and not a fence" Trouble at the border. In the eleventh hour Ditch and wire and palisade in the line of fire Call up the cavalry and double up the guard Preparing for catastrophe inside the house of cards In China they got worried they built themselves a wall They built it big and long and tall. To keep away the hoard A hundred years of blood and toil. A million lives expend The steely grip of dynasty "behind a wall and not a fence" Trouble at the border. In the eleventh hour Ditch and wire and palisade in the line of fire Call up the cavalry and double up the guard Preparing for catastrophe inside the house of cards Trouble at the border. In the eleventh hour Letras de cancionesDitch and wire and palisade in the line of fire Call up the cavalry and double up the guard Preparing for catastrophe inside the house of cards Emperors and Sultans, Kings and Presidents Dictators and ambassadors engaged in our defence A lifetime of great service, of selfless good intent Guaranteed immunity "behind a wall and not a fence" Trouble at the border. In the eleventh hour Ditch and wire and palisade in the line of fire Call up the cavalry and double up the guard Preparing for catastrophe inside the house of cards Trouble at the border.
