Stiff Little Fingers - The Night That The Wall Came Down lyrics

Your rating:


Maybe you remember, before the wall came down

How we hated one another from the other side of town

Now I'm an old man

And an old man can see

All that hate can leave you with

It's just photographs and no permanent past

And an ever growing rift



Back then it was easy to blame the other guy

You had it all so they built the wall and we were left to cry

And a young man

With a young man's haste

Will challenge every law

So he'll try to break out but there's never a doubt

That he is bound to fall

Then there's all the lies they tell you

And the lies you tell yourself

So you end up crying



Chorus:

The night that the wall came down

The night that the wall came down

The night that the bricks fell apart

And the wall came tumbling down



They said it would protect us, from evil from the west

How you'd sacrifice everything in the pursuit of personal wealth

But a mother

With a mother's tears

Sees her family torn apart

There are some by her side others still trapped inside

Only living in her heart

So what use, the lies they tell you

Or the lies you tell yourself

So you end up shouting

(Chorus)



Oh, oh, oh and don't let them tell you

The future holds no hope

Oh, oh, oh never let them beat you

Look forward, take control



(Verse 1 & middle 8 repeats)

(Chorus)
