Dead Kennedys Bedtime For Democracy The Great Wall Great Wall of China It's so big it's seen from outer space Put there to keep starving neighbors Locked outside the gates 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 your ghetto back to life We let your schools decay on purpose To build a Great Wall around our power Another Great Wall around our power Warlords in grey suits Take a different route to work each day Second-hand 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 Gentleman Would rather feed guns to puppet dictators There's too many people in your world And refugees are expensive When they trickled down onto 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 built a Great Wall around our power Economic Great Wall around our power Worldwide Great Wall around our power Give us your poor, Your tired and your weak We'll send 'em right back To their certain death |
