A wall with pretty paper

(Drum march/spanish flavor (see chorus))

Bm       F#m            Bm
They say the dangers on us
They say we're going to die
C                     G
They say we've got to trust them now
Bm       A          Em
They say no reasons why

They say the danger's looming
They say you must take care
They say that words can hurts us 
They say the words that scare

To protect ourselves, our family from knives and plots and sin
D                 A        G          F#m        G
We'll build these walls of anger and cover them within
With painted skies and apple pies and glory days long gone,
D             A       D       G         F#m            Bm
We'll be safe inside, in our pride, and sing a martial song

Bm                    F#M                   Bm     C
But I say a wall with pretty paper is still a wall after all.
And a lie that makes us safe still hurts us in the end.
G                            A
If the barricade is built on innocent strange blood,
D              A           D          G        F#M             Bm 
then the price we paid for each brick laid was too high in the end.

They say this is our destiny
They say we've got the right
They say only the guilty pay
They say this say this every night

G

A
