[Am]
[F] [Am]
[Gb] [Am] [F]
[Am] [D] [Am]
We're out here on the borders with our favorite few possessions, [Bb] trading stories whispered
[F] round the fire.
[Am] There's shadows in the searchlights, mugshots in the files, [Bb] waiting in the camps [F] behind the wire.
Kick the door until [G] it opens, what you have you cannot [F] hold.
We are young, forever [G] hungry, you are fat and growing [D] old.
[G] And [F] every day [C] you try [D] to build a higher [F] wall, [C] a higher [Dm] wall.
[G] Every [F] day [C] you try to [D] build [Em] a higher [F] wall, [C] a higher wall.
[Ab] [Am] We pick the leaves of coca, stack the crates of cola, [Bb] we wait upon the tables [F] where you die.
[Am] And we learn from you not to upset the little that we're given, [Bb] to take the piece of silver
[F] where we can.
And clutching at these papers [G] in another office line, [F] we're staring from the darkness, [G] open
windows filled with lights.
[D] [Em] And every [F] day [C] you try to [D] build a higher [F] wall, a [C] higher [Dm] wall.
[G] Every [F] day [C] you try to [Dm] build a [G] higher [F] wall, [C] a higher [D] wall.
[Em] Every [F] day [C] you try to [D] build a higher [F] wall, a [C] higher [D] wall.
[G] Every [F] day [C] you try to [D] build [Em] a higher [F] wall, [C] a higher wall.
[B] [E] In my [D] town we used to [Db] pray to idols sent from far [E] away.
From out [D] beyond the dusty [Ab] days we heard your voices call.
[E] And in your [D] town the streets are [Db] clean, the order stands, the sirens [E] scream.
You took a piece, vacation [Ab] dreams and reinforced the wall.
[Am]
[Bb]
[F] [Am]
[Dm] [Bb]
[F] Now in your pews of [G] immigration in the borders home, [F] we are your bastard children, [G] yeah,
all coming home.
[D] And [Em] still you [F] try, you [C] try to [D] build a higher [F] wall, a [C] higher [D] wall.
[G] Every [F] day you [C] try to [D] build a [Em] higher [F] wall, a [C] higher [D] wall.
And your [Em] money [F] can't [C] stop us, [D] and your fear it [F] can't [C] stop [D] us.
No, [G] you will [F] never [C] stop us [D] with your [Em] higher [F] wall, your [C] higher [Dm] wall, your higher wall.
[C] Your [Dm] higher wall.
