It's Tough
Apologetix

Our wall's so high you would not recognize

But fire burned and minimized the way it sat for all my life

Kissed Persia goodbye, you see I brought a plan

To get Jerusalem strong again

The wall was where I'd start - Oh!


It's a tough task making this wall complete

We said goodbye to dinnertime and sports

There are kids making some fun of me

And I hope those boys, Sanballat and Tobias, get bored - Whooho

They tried their best to keep us occupied

Said they'd come in with their knives

It's hard but we work side by side

Oh, kept saying stuff 'bout me that's just insane

Pretending I built this thing

To turn around and be the king - whatever


This wall has taken us seven weeks

Three days till I can finish up the doors

Wal-Mart did make a good wall for cheap

But I had no choice 'cause I don't live nearby any stores - no oh oh


I fixed this broken thing, repaired these openings

I ain't your average Pink Floyd guy (Nehemiah, me oh my)

I can't sing all their hits, but I know Another Brick

Let me sing for you 'dause I'm Nehemiah how do you do?


Ezra has taken the scroll to read

We said goodbye to sins we tried before

Four hundred and forty-four B.C. and I have no Floyd

And I can't play guitar like Gilmore


It's rough just making this song funny

We had to try and then we tried some more

And I'd like to break the monotony

We say Maroon 5 should end it at the chorus


Guess what I'm making this all up here

Read Nehemiah and Ezra right before

Work hard and pray with a fervency

But I have no voice so I will fade this right here for sure
