Hadestown - Why We Build the Wall Lyrics |
2016 stage musical adaptation of a folk opera by Anaïs Mitchell HADESTOWN the Musical - Why We Build the Wall Lyrics
HADES Why do we build the wall, my children, my children? Why do we build the wall?
ALL TOGETHER Why do we build the wall? We build the wall to keep us free That’s why we build the wall We build the wall to keep us free
HADES How does the wall keep us free, my children, my children? How does the wall keep us free?
ALL TOGETHER How does the wall keep us free? The wall keeps out the enemy And we build the wall to keep us free That’s why we build the wall We build the wall to keep us free
HADES Who do we call the enemy, my children, my children? Who do we call the enemy?
ALL TOGETHER Who do we call the enemy? The enemy is poverty And the wall keeps out the enemy And we build the wall to keep us free That’s why we build the wall We build the wall to keep us free
HADES Because we have and they have not, my children, my children Because they want what we have got
ALL TOGETHER Because we have and they have not Because they want what we have got The enemy is poverty And the wall keeps out the enemy And we build the wall to keep us free That’s why we build the wall We build the wall to keep us free
HADES What do we have that they should want, my children, my children? What do we have that they should want?
ALL TOGETHER What do we have that they should want? We have a wall to work upon We have work and they have none And our work is never done My children, my children And the war is never won The enemy is poverty And the wall keeps out the enemy And we build the wall to keep us free That’s why we build the wall We build the wall to keep us free We build the wall to keep us free
