[Verse 1]

On a tree there is food to eat

For to feed the hungry people

But we must keep filthy hands away

This garden is a temple

Mm mm, mm mm mmm

[Verse 2]

We built a wall to keep heathens out

So we don't hear their wretched weeping

And a tall, tall tower, where the righteous can go

To keep watch while we are sleeping

[Chorus]

But the flood will surely come

And the devil laughs

Build another wall, I don't give a damn

Just make a little profit on it

Mm mm, mm mm mmm

[Verse 3]

Inside our wall we must build a church

For to raise our little children

To keep them safe, wе must start a war

And we'll hang those who don't listen

[Chorus]

But thе flood will surely come

And the devil laughs

Build another wall, I don't give a damn

Just make a little profit on it

Mm mm, mm mm mmm

[Verse 4]

I'm digging a grave for the empty souls

Who chase greed and fear and destruction

I'm digging a hole for a treasure chest

The devil's always workin'
