Fence

⛩️🧱⛩️🧱⛩️🧱⛩️🧱⛩️🧱⛩️🧱⛩️

To Keep Me Out, You Built Your Fence

You Say You Care, But That's Pretence

You Only Want My Deference

Then You Said That I Cause Offence

🧱⛩️🧱

You Wallow In Your Decadence

With Your Total Insouciance

Say That I Should Show Penitence

You Are Incensed By My Presence

🧱⛩️🧱

You Say It's Justice You Dispense

Your Ears Are Closed To My Defence

And Your Words Don't Make Any Sense

If I Cared, This Would Be Intense

🧱⛩️🧱

But I Don't, So Let War Commence

I Will Tear Down Your Bloody Fence

⛩️🧱⛩️🧱⛩️🧱⛩️🧱⛩️🧱⛩️🧱⛩️
