lyrics

Build your wall around you my man
Protect yourself from the kids in the crowds man
I'll even lay the bricks for you
You old fat man
Rich kid well fed I noticed
Car's too fast to see the woes in
The heart of town
Come see em now
You old fat man
And show them how you won't help them none
You lie to us but so did they man
You don't have our trust and there wont come a day when I confidently let
You go represent me and all my friends
And the freedoms you upend
I assure we won't help you none
You and your friends will keep us safe
Sure thing but we didn't ask to be saved
From people like us who just wanna make
Their children happy and their children free
I'm on your side I swear to god man
But god ain't here
He must've ran inside
When he saw you coming
So it's me and you
What's got you terrified man
I see much fear within your eyes and
I pray for you I really do
You're still my man
You're my 45th and you won't be my last
