I knew a man who lived in fear
it was huge
it was angry
it was drawing him near
Behind his house
a secret place
was the shadow of a demon he could never face

He built a wall of steel and flame
and then with guns
to keep it tame
and standing back
he made it plain
that the nightmare would never ever rise again
but the fear and the fire and the guns we make

It doesn't matter now
It's over anyhow
He tells the world that's sleeping
But as the night came out
I heard its lonely sound
it wasn't roaring
it was weeping
it wasn't roaring
it was weeping

And then one day
the neighbors came
they were curious to know about the smoke and flame
he stood around
outside the wall
but of course there was nothing to be heard at all

My friends, he said,
we've reached our goal
the threat is under firm control
as long as peace and order reign
I'll be d___ed if I can see a reason to explain
why the fear and the fire and the guns we make

It doesn't matter now
It's over anyhow
He tells the world that's sleeping
But as the night came out
I heard its lonely sound
it wasn't roaring
it was weeping
it wasn't roaring
it was weeping
it wasn't roaring
it was weeping
Say I
Say I
Say I
Say I
Say I

It doesn't matter now
it's over anyhow
It doesn't matter now
It's over anyhow
He tells the world that's sleeping
But as the night came out
I heard its lonely sound
it wasn't roaring
it was weeping
it wasn't roaring
it was weeping
Say I
say I
say I
say I
yeah yeah yeah
