You don't have to launch a missile to break down my defense
|
You don't need a fighter 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 so there ain't a thing to lose
|
Except our pride it's suicide of all we ever knew
|
In some ways we're east and west and the wall is coming down
|
Sometimes we celebrate other times we say what have we done
|
And I feel you 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 down down
|
I see you coming 'round
|
'Cause your 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 onto 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 it's suicide of all we ever knew
|
In some ways we're 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 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 down down
|
I see you coming 'round
|
'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
|
Is this love making or 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
|
|
In some ways we're 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 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 down down
|
I see you coming 'round
|
'Cause the wall is coming down
|
