My Wall

(专辑： Rev - 1994)

A middle class mom crouches on the hill
Eyes behind binoculars she sits so still
Spots a boy going under the freeway
Whispers in her radio going for the kill

Open your eyes!
You're fighting kids
Who only want to make their mark
Everything else you took away
You left them in the dark
Open your eyes!
Your war is not about beauty
It's about rights and choice
Speech isn't free
It's only for those who can afford to raise their voice

Say it's pollution they say it's a sin
Mobilize their force to stop the demon within
Say it's not a battle it's a full scale war
Recruiting volunteers like never before

Open your eyes!
You're fighting kids
Who only want to make their mark
Everything else you took away
You left them in the dark
Open your eyes!
Your war is not about beauty
It's about rights and choice
Speech isn't free
It's only for those who can afford to raise their voice

Say it's so ugly they say it's an eyesore
But remember they're the ones who build department stores
Put ads on the benches signs on the windows
Asphalt where the grass used to grow

Open your eyes!
You're fighting kids
Who only want to make their mark
Everything else you took away
You left them in the dark
Open your eyes!
Your war is not about beauty
It's about rights and choice
Speech isn't free
It's only for those who can afford to raise their voice
