Empty Walls
We paved roads
By walls
Such empty walls
Humanity goes out
Inhumanity breeds
A starving mother
A lost wedding ring
Beneath a wrestling ring
Of the mind
We paved roads
By walls
Such empty walls
Humanity goes out
Inhumanity breeds
Taunt the trends
With lost and silly grins
A party hat
Covered in confetti smiles
A wicked motive
Hidden in shadow
Party time in America
Throw your voice in a hat
Shake it all around
Like vomit
Get back to square one
We paved roads
By walls
Such empty walls
Humanity goes out
Inhumanity breeds
Apocalypse looms
Hidden dangers in diversity
Sell a song to the ambidextrous
We're leaving out to come back in
We paved roads
By walls
Such empty walls
Humanity goes out
Inhumanity breeds
Settle the score with your neighbor
Remembering when he scored on your wife
The strife was clearly worth a life
Or perhaps two when you take your own
Family fabrics sewn together by adversity
And the hidden dangers in diversity
Another soul lost to this cursed city
Taunt the trends
We paved roads
Party time in America
By walls
A starving mother
Such empty walls
Get back to square one
