Barbwire Fence Lyrics

They took the coal from the mountains, ripped the fruit from the soil Pulled the fish from the sea, drained the earth of its oil Took the christ out of christmas, pulled the sun from the sky Their daddies told them to never ask why The barbwire fence is gettin higher and higher Were gettin ready to fight fire with fire Its gettin so there aint a kind word said But we gotta keep movin on, pushin on ahead They led a blind man to a cliff, gave a crippled man a kick Took a poor man to the cleaners and a rich man has his pick Gave a three piece man a job, took an old man to a whore Sent a young boy to a place he aint never been before The barbwire fence is gettin higher and higher Were gettin ready to fight fire with fire Its gettin so there aint a kind word said But we gotta keep movin on, pushin on ahead Well if they force me to reason, if they ask me to doubt Ill fuss then baby and fight em baby, ow East wind is blowin and a full moon is high Theres just no purpose, theres no reason why The barbwire fence is gettin higher and higher Were gettin ready to fight fire with fire Its gettin so there aint a kind word said But we gotta keep movin on, pushin on ahead
