The Night That The Wall Came Down Lyrics - Get A Life - Stiff Little Fingers

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 

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 

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 

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 

[Unverified] 

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
