Hades:
Why do we build the wall
My children, my children
Why do we build the wall?

Workers and Fates and Persephone:
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?

Workers and Fates and Persephone:
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?

Workers and Fates and Persephone:
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

Workers and Fates and Persephone:
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!

All:
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

Hermes:
Then Hades told Eurydice

Hades:
There are papers to be signed
Step into my office

Hermes:
And he closed the door behind
Now a lot can happen behind closed doors
That's for sure, brother, that's a fact
But a lot can happen on the factory floor
When the foreman turns his back

Persephone:
Anybody want a drink?
