When the Wall Comes Down

Whatchu gonna do when the wall comes down?
When the wall comes down?
What you oughta do is let it lie, let it lie
And in the gathering darkness vow, to never go back
It was built by man and you can tear it down
Tear it down, tear it down

Oh, step back, Jack, from the darkness

Whatchu gonna do when the shackles fall?
When the shackles fall?
What you oughta do is melt them down, melt them down
Turn them into tools and make a garden on the prison grounds
Turn your chains to roses, child
Tear it down, tear it down

Oh, step back, Jack, from the darkness
But while I'm here, I'm gonna sing just like a songbird

Whatchu gonna do when the hunger's gone?
When the hunger's gone
Yes, pity the child who goes without, goes without
But give him no reason to falter on his way down
It's a beautiful world but painful, child
Tear it down, tear it down

Yeah step back, Jack, from the darkness
But while I'm here, I'm gonna sing just like a songbird
