Walls and Bridges

Walls and bridges burn with a rage

It’s hard to tell the winners from the losers in this age

Flags of freedom banners not worth a dime

Some stand alone tonight, some only cry

Walls and bridges burn tonight

I’ve dodged bullets just for a loaf of bread

Stood in line for hours just to view the dead

Been on the dark side, spent my time in hell

You can wipe the blood but the pictures in your head stained red

Walls and bridges burn again

In my hometown I ain’t got a friend to lose

I’ll stand alone, take my chance nothing left to do, nothing left to say

Looked in my baby’s eyes didn’t recognize

Familiar place I’ve been so many times

Today I’m living, hear the bells chime

Like Gallant soldiers, tomorrow we will die

Walls and bridges burning bright
