Now, I'm In Favor Of A Wall

from Inside & Terrified by Bob Hillman

/

lyrics

Four years ago
They proposed a wall
To regulate immigration
We agonized
Sharply polarized
And organized demonstrations
Oh, how far the righteous fall
Now, I’m in favor of a wall

Six weeks ago
No one could foresee
Compulsory isolation
Please, hide away
Disappear, they say
In honor of self-preservation
Regulations, protocol
Now, I’m in favor of a wall

Two months from now
We will re-emerge
Having postponed our vacations
Tourists in bars
And on cable cars
Still ill-advised celebration
Experts say: delay, forestall
Now, I’m in favor of a wall

I wonder why
Multitudes deny
The scientific consensus
While I think about
How to keep them out
A whole population resents us
It’s a controversial call
Now, I’m in favor of a wall
Now, I’m in favor of a wall
