Robert Plant - Carving Up The World Again... A Wall And Not A Fence lyrics

Your rating:

The Russians, the Americans, the British and the French

They're carving up the world again, it's getting kind of tense

A whole lotta posture and very little sense

It's no surprise they hide behind a wall and not a fence



The Irish and the English and the Scottish and the Welsh

A damp and misty history they keep it to themselves

All lost in dark antiquity and smouldering descent

Invisible divisions behind a wall and not a fence



Trouble at the border in the eleventh hour

Ditch and wire and palisade in the line of fire

Call up the cavalry and double up the guard

Preparing for catastrophe inside the house of cards



In China they got worried so they built themselves a wall

They built it big and long and tall to keep away the hoard

A hundred years of blood and toil, a million lives expend

The steely grip of dynasty behind a wall and not a fence



Trouble at the border in the eleventh hour

Ditch and wire and palisade in the line of fire

Call up the cavalry and double up the guard

Preparing for catastrophe inside the house of cards



Trouble at the border in the eleventh hour

Ditch and wire and palisade in the line of fire

Call up the cavalry and double up the guard

Preparing for catastrophe inside the house of cards



Emperors and Sultans, Kings and Presidents

Dictators and ambassadors engaged in our defence

A lifetime of great service, of selfless good intent

Guaranteed immunity behind a wall and not a fence



Trouble at the border in the eleventh hour

Ditch and wire and palisade in the line of fire

Call up the cavalry and double up the guard

Preparing for catastrophe inside the house of cards



Trouble at the border in the eleventh hour

Ditch and wire and palisade in the line of fire

Call up the cavalry and double up the guard

Preparing for catastrophe inside the house of cards
