Apropos of interfering in elections, attention must be paid to Trumpapalooza and the secret plans Trump will tell us out loud, live and in-person! Listen carefully!
Trumpapalooza

Why We Build the Wall Lyrics – Hades, Eurydice, Company
From
HADESTOWN, the musical
[HADES]
Why do we build the wall,
My children, my children?
Why do we build the wall?
[COMPANY]
Why do we build the wall?
We build the wall to keep us free
That’s why we build the wall
We build the wall to keep us free
[HADES]
How does the wall keep us free,
My children, my children?
How does the wall keep us free?
[COMPANY]
How does the wall keep us free?
The wall keeps out the enemy
And we build the wall to keep us free
That’s why we build the wall
We build the wall to keep us free
[HADES]
Who do we call the enemy,
My children, my children?
Who do we call the enemy?
[COMPANY]
Who do we call the enemy?
The enemy is poverty
And the wall keeps out the enemy
And we build the wall to keep us free
That’s why we build the wall
We build the wall to keep us free
[HADES]
Because we have and they have not,
My children, my children
Because they want what we have got
[COMPANY]
Because we have and they have not
Because they want what we have got
The enemy is poverty
And the wall keeps out the enemy
And we build the wall to keep us free
That’s why we build the wall
We build the wall to keep us free
[HADES]
What do we have that they should want,
My children, my children?
What do we have that they should want?
[EURYDICE]
What do we have that they should want?
We have a wall to work upon
We have work and they have none
[HADES]
And our work is never done!
My children, my children!
And the war is never won
[HADES and COMPANY]
The enemy is poverty
And the wall keeps out the enemy
And we build the wall to keep us free
That’s why we build the wall
We build the wall to keep us free
We build the wall to keep us free...
[Written by Anaïs Mitchell long before 2016 politics, it landed on the 2010 concept album and, in the Broadway era, became track 19 of the 2019 Original Broadway Cast Recording - So v and lyrics Patrick Page Original Broadway Production]
Very important piece.
Well said! Keep on muckraking!
