Well hear them wail "Let the walls come down!"

A man lit himself on fire
On tv just the other day.
He set the eastern deserts burning
With a single match that way.

Killing fields are ripe for harvest
And they will reap what they have sown.
You can ignore the growing tempest
But you can't stop the wind from blowing.

Well hear them wail "Let the walls come down!"

I saw them fighting in the streets,
On tv just the other day.
Kids with slingshots facing tanks
Seems like it's always been this way.

And if freedoms just another word for nothing left to lose.
Then I guess they got their freedom, more than they would choose.

Hear them wail down in old Cairo.
Hear them wail down in Aleppo.
Hear them wail on the Gaza Strip
Hear them wail down in Tunis.
Hear them wail down in Jericho.
Hear them wail down in Beirut.
