I got 800 miles of open border right outside my door
D7 C G
There's Minute Men in little pickup trucks who've declared their own dang war
G D
Now the government wants to build a barrier, like old Berlin, eight feet tall
D7 C G
But if Uncle Sam sends the illegals home, who's gonna build the wall?
[CHORUS]
G C G
Who's gonna build your wall, boys? Who's gonna mow your lawn?
G G/F# Em D
Who's gonna cook your Mexican food when your Mexican maid is gone?
G C Am
Who's gonna wax the floors tonight down at the local mall?
G G/F# Em D G
Who's gonna wash your baby's face? Who's gonna build your wall?
G D
Now I ain't got no politics, so don't lay that rap on me
D7 C G
Left wing, right wing, up wing, down wing, I see strip malls from sea to shining sea
G D
It's the fat cat white developer, who's created this whole damn squall
D7 C G
It's a pyramid scheme of dirty jobs and who's gonna build your wall?
[REPEAT CHORUS]
G D
We've got fundamentalist Muslims, we've got fundamentalist Jews
D7 C G
We've got fundamentalist Christians, they'll blow the whole thing up for you
G D
But as I travel around this big old world, there's one thing that I most fear
D7 C G
It's a white man in a golf shirt, with a cell phone in his ear
[REPEAT CHORUS]
G G/F# Em D G
Yeah, who's gonna wash your baby's face? Who's gonna build your wall?
