  • Well they blew the horns
    And the walls came down
    They'd all been warned
    And the walls came down
    They stood there laughing
    They're not laughing anymore
    The walls came down

    Sanctuary fades
    Congregation splits
    Nightly military raids
    The congregation splits
    It's a song of assassins
    Ringin' in your ears
    We got terrorist thinking
    Playing on fears

    Well they blew the horns
    And the walls came down
    They'd all been warned
    But the walls came down
    I don't think there are any Russians
    And there ain't no Yanks
    Just corporate criminals
    Playin' with tanks

    Ya ya ya ya ya ya
    Ya ya ya ya ya ya
    Ya ya ya ya ya ya
    Ya ya ya ya ya ya
    Ya ya ya ya ya ya
    Ya ya ya ya ya ya
    Ya ya ya ya ya ya
    Ya ya ya ya ya ya (wake up)
    Ya ya ya ya ya ya
    Ya ya ya ya ya ya
    Ya ya ya ya ya ya
    Ya ya ya ya ya ya
    Ya ya ya ya ya ya
    Ya ya ya ya ya ya
    Ya ya ya ya ya ya
    Ya ya ya ya ya ya (come on, come on, come on, come on) Writer/s: Michael Been
