Song: What A Wonderful Wall Poem by Dave SmithWhite

Song: What A Wonderful Wall



I see friezes of mean, a redneck or two;
I see them coming, for me and you.
And I think to myself,
What a wonderful wall.

I see lies in a slew, and crowds of white
Men who can't say, why they are right.
And I think to myself,
What a wonderful wall.

The contestants in a game show,
From that city in the sky.
All the frightened faces,
Of those we terrify.
I see friends shaking heads,
Saying what did you just do?
What we're really saying is:
We loathe you.

I see babies crying, how snatched they forgo,
The love of their parents, who are grieving, you know.
And I think to myself,
What a wonderful wall.
Yes,I think to myself,
What a wonderful wall.

Oh yeah...
