Where were you when the barriers blew away
Forgot that day, forgot that day?
And when the understanding came to stay
You ran away, you wouldn`t pay.

Never seen one so you just don`t care
Even so they`re living everywhere
Round here
They`ll take your job and they`ll take your wife
They`ll even cut you up with a knife
Your ear, they`ll cut off your ear.


And you don`t even know if he`s black or white
And you don`t even know if he`s wrong or right
Cos you`re living your life behind a ten foot wall
And you don`t even know what you built it for



You`ve lived your life in a world that`s very small
Not big at all, just bigots all
So just join in with what the neighbours say
You`ll be OK, you`ll be OK


Never seen one so you just don`t care
Even so they`re living everywhere
Round here
Half the problem is you just don`t know
The seed`s not there for you to let it grow
I fear


And you don`t even know if he`s black or white
And you don`t even know if you`re wrong or right
Cos you`re living your life behind a ten foot wall
And you don`t even know what you built it for
