They’re building the new berlin wall
Califronia to texas et al
But you know that you cant catch em all
Yet you’re building the new berlin wall
There’s a sheriff in arizona
Who’s plotting his nazi regime
While some SS patriot stands guarding the desert
Fulfilling his bigoted dreams
They’re building the new berlin wall
From san diego to Brownsville so tall
The poor huddled masses, we’ll deport them all
We’re building the new berlin wall
See Mexican men rounded up in Juarez
Women and children behind a razor wide fence
Herded like cattle to some government bus
No one knows where they were sent
See I tried to look closer
Some cop he suggested
That I keep my eyes to myself
He pointed his gun said move along son
Unless you want trouble yourself
They’re building the new berlin wall
California to texas et al.
If you’re a Mexican
You’re a criminal until proven a citizen
You better check the italians and check the Chinese
Check the scandinavians and the Portuguese
You better id the irish, question the british
Check them out now could you please
Check the Czech’s while your at
Check the germans for their citizenship
Check out those jewish, check out the polish
Are they kosher are they legit
They’re building the new berlin wall
Now we’re trapping you all in so you can’t leave at all
If your rich you can shop in our stores
But if your poor you can find the back door
See I don’t see freedom with a twenty foot fence
Beefing up borders with rich arrogance
As the statue of liberty
Staggers drunkenly into the sea
Lets not forget now what gave the power
You’re empire was built by the poor
Now that you’re empire has seen finer hours
Your empire is locking the door
You’re building the new berlin wall
Say can’t let ‘em all in cause the economy will fall
Well it already did and you’re greed caused it all
Yet you’re building the new berlin wall
So send of your battalions of gun toting thugs
End this unwinnable war against drugs
Legalize all of it, end the cartels
Crack the black market, tax it as well
Take all that money for rehab and schools
Break this unbreakable circle of fools
Tear down the border fence
Open the doors
Send us your hungry your sick and your poor.
