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 For something to change we have waited over and over and over again I'm entertained by the monkey on your back But 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 mounting 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 For 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 And now making their return, as we bow down Roll out 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 For something to change we have waited over and over and over and over again How many walls 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 story All over and over and over and over Over and over and over and over again
