Great Wall of China
  It's so big it's seen from outer space
  Put there to keep starving neighbors
  Locked outside the gates
    What's changed today?
  Empires hoard more than they need
  And peasants threaten our comfort
    We'll build a Great Wall around our power
  Build a Great Wall around our power
    Bankrupt L.A.'s streetcar line
  So people pay more to drive
  Plant strategic freeways
  To divide neighborhoods by color lines
    We'd rather pay for riot squads
  Than pump your ghetto back to life
  We let your schools decay on purpose
    To build a Great Wall around our power
  Another Great Wall around our power
    Warlords in grey suits
  Take a different route to work each day
  Second-hand green berets
  Form the companies' private armies.
  We'll take all your gold
  But won't teach reading or feed your poor
  The League of Gentleman
  Would rather feed guns to puppet dictators
    There's too many people in your world
  And refugees are expensive
  When they trickled down onto our soil
  We hunt them and arrest them
  Classify them insane
  And put them back on the next plane
  To the waiting arms
  Of the same death squads they fled
    We've built a Great Wall around our power
  Economic Great Wall around our power
  Worldwide Great Wall around our power
    Give us your poor,
  Your tired and your weak
  We'll send 'em right back
  To their certain death
