The Concrete In The Wall Lyrics

See the prawns with blunted helmets as they swim against the tide.
Sense the anger in their bellies as they choke upon their pride.
Better take a weapon when you go outside.

See the mud fish in their igloos as they shelter from the truth.
You can call them hypocritical if you provide the proof.
Yes we all know how it feels to be like them.
Say amen.

You can pat it, you can fat it but the beast is always at it.
It'll throw you, it'll roll you but it's guaranteed to mould you.
You can run from it or you can bang your head against the concrete in the wall.

You can skip your lamentations in the wake of Alice B
But you'll lose your reservation for a trip to meet JC
And do origami with a plastic tree.

You can frisk a hippopotamus if you can find a stool.
He might sue you for embarrassment so don't forget your tool.
All the water horses go to lawfare school,
As a rule.

You can grease it, you can ease it but you'll never get to please it.
It'll trip you, it'll grip you but the beast will always rip you.
You can run from it or you can bang your head against the concrete in the wall.

Just step to one side. Let wild horses ride.

You can pat it, you can fat it but the beast is always at it.
It'll throw you, it'll roll you but it's guaranteed to mould you.
You can run from it or you can bang your head against the concrete in the wall.

You can grease it, you can ease it but you'll never get to please it.
It'll trip you, it'll grip you but the beast will always rip you.
You can run from it or you can bang your head against the concrete in the wall.
