Testo The Great Wall - Dead Kennedys
Testo della canzone The Great Wall (Dead Kennedys), tratta dall'album Bedtime For Democracy
Great Wall of China, it's so big it's seen from outer space
Put there to keep starving neighbors locked outside the gates
So what's changed today?
Empires hoard more than they need
And peasants threaten our comfort
We'll 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
We'd rather pay for riot squads
Than pump the ghetto back to life
We'll let your schools decay on purpose
To build a great wall around our power
Another great wall around our power
Warlords in gray suits take a different route to work each day
Secondhand green berets form the companies' private armies
We'll take all your gold but won't teach reading or feed your poor
The league of gentlemen would rather feed guns to puppet dictators
There's too many people in your world and refugees are expensive
When they trickle down into 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
We've build a great wall around our power
Worldwide great wall around our power
Economic great wall around our power
Give us your poor, your tired, your weak
We'll send 'em right back to their certain death
