|
Maybe you remember, before the wall came down
|
How we hated one another from the other side of town
|
Now I'm an old man
|
And an old man can see
|
All that hate can leave you with
|
It's just photographs and no permanent past
|
And an ever growing rift
|
|
Back then it was easy to blame the other guy
|
You had it all so they built the wall and we were left to cry
|
And a young man
|
With a young man's haste
|
Will challenge every law
|
So he'll try to break out but there's never a doubt
|
That he is bound to fall
|
Then there's all the lies they tell you
|
And the lies you tell yourself
|
So you end up crying
|
|
Chorus:
|
The night that the wall came down
|
The night that the wall came down
|
The night that the bricks fell apart
|
And the wall came tumbling down
|
|
They said it would protect us, from evil from the west
|
How you'd sacrifice everything in the pursuit of personal wealth
|
But a mother
|
With a mother's tears
|
Sees her family torn apart
|
There are some by her side others still trapped inside
|
Only living in her heart
|
So what use, the lies they tell you
|
Or the lies you tell yourself
|
So you end up shouting
|
(Chorus)
|
|
Oh, oh, oh and don't let them tell you
|
The future holds no hope
|
Oh, oh, oh never let them beat you
|
Look forward, take control
|
