Carving up the World Again... a Wall and Not a Fence - Robert Plant (羅伯特·普蘭特)

Written by:William Fuller/Justin Adams/John Baggott/Robert Plant/David Smith

The Russians the Americans the British and the French

They're carving up the world again it's getting kind of tense

A whole lotta posture and very little sense

It's no surprise they hide behind a wall and not a fence

 

The Irish and the English and the Scottish and the Welsh

A damp and misty history they keep it to themselves

All lost in dark antiquity and smoldering descent

Invisible division behind wall and not a fence

Trouble at the border in the eleventh hour

Ditch and wire and palisade in the line of fire

Call up the cavalry and double the guard

Preparing for catastrophe inside the house of cards

 

In China they got worried they built themselves a wall

They built it big and long and tall to keep away the hoard

A hundred years of blood and toil a million lives expend

The steely grip of dynasty behind a wall and not a fence

Trouble at the border in the eleventh hour

Ditch and wire and palisade in the line of fire

Call up the cavalry and double the guard

Preparing for catastrophe inside the house of cards

 

Trouble at the border in the eleventh hour

Ditch and wire and palisade in the line of fire

Call up the cavalry and double the guard

Preparing for catastrophe inside the house of cards

Emperors and Sultans Kings and Presidents

Dictators and ambassadors engaged in our defense

A lifetime of great service of selfless good intent

Guaranteed immunity behind a wall and not a fence

Trouble at the border in the eleventh hour

Ditch and wire and palisade in the line of fire

Call up the cavalry and double the guard

Preparing for catastrophe inside the house of cards

Trouble at the border in the eleventh hour

Ditch and wire and palisade in the line of fire

Call up the cavalry and double the guard

 

Preparing for catastrophe inside the house of cards
