Why We Build The Wall

Anais Mitchell Anais Mitchell

[Hades]
Why do we build the wall?
My children, my children
Why do we build the wall?

[Cerberus]
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?

[Cerberus]
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?

[Cerberus]
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!

[Cerberus]
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?

[Cerberus]
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
