How Many Walls

How many walls can you put up?
How many guns 'til you feel safe?
How many times can we watch this story over, and over, and over again?
And how many years have we wasted counting the lies that we’ve been fed?
There’s something to change
We have waited over, and over, and over again
I’m entertained by the monkey on your back
Can we still call it a joke if no one laughs?
It’s either going up in smoke around me, or according to plan
A bittersweet disaster melting over, and over again
How many walls can you put up?
How many guns 'til you feel safe?
How many times can we watch this story over, and over, and over again?
How many years have we wasted counting the lies that we’ve been fed?
There’s something to change
We have waited over, and over, and over again
Chasing our own tail
The more we learn, the less we know
As the monsters lost in history
Are now making their return
As we bow down
Roll up the carpet, red as rose
We should have known
How many walls can you put up?
How many guns 'til you feel safe?
How many times can we watch this story over, and over, and over again?
How many years have we wasted counting the lies that we’ve been fed?
There’s something to change, we have waited
Over, and over, and over, and over again
How many walls?
And how many guns?
How many times?
Over, and over, and over again
Over, and over, and over again
And how many lives have been wasted?
How many bodies laid to rest?
Sick of the lies, the same old stories
Over, and over, and over, and over
Over, and over, and over, and over
AGAIN!
