[Verse 1]

But we do what we must and we feel we are just

[Chorus]
Critics cry of bloody days
But people still die anyway
The ones who understand their roles
Can help us save the world
History's afforded us this opportune occasion
To form a new foundation
You must first tear down the walls
Tear down the walls
Tear down the walls
Tear down the walls
[Chorus]
Critics cry of bloody days
But people still die anyway
The ones who understand their roles
Can help us save the world
History's afforded us this opportune occasion
To form a new foundation
You must first tear down the walls
Tear down the walls
Tear down the walls
Tear down the walls
