One hundred years ago isn't long nWould you be blamed for another's wrong?nGenerations claiming retribution nWhile your poets and your prophets are yelling executionnnWho's building the walls now?nWho's building the walls now?nI never held you down, I never put you down nI never held you down, let's be brothers nnTen billion people all unique nYou've only got one thing in common:nThe colour of your cheeks nYou put down your brothers who found a way to fit in nnIt's survival of the fittest nBut you say they've betrayed their own kin nnI'll never say you have no right nBut the only cure today is not to fight nHate will not stop hate, I know I'm right nBut when you trust a man today whose skin is white nnWho's putting the chains on now? nWho's putting the chains on now?nI never held you down nI never put you down nI never held you down nLet's be brothers
