This wall divides us on two different sides

But this wall is not real

How can it be real

It's only made of concrete and barbed wire

Concrete and barbed wire

Concrete and barbed wire

It's only made of concrete and barbed wire

Back in Algiers, my darling broke my heart

But he can't seem to break down this wall

With two strong hands he couldn't move it at all

And it's only made of concrete and barbed wire

Concrete and barbed wire

Concrete and barbed wire

It's only made of concrete and barbed wire

Down in Opelousas, dogs are at the gate

And they're mean, Lord they're mean

There's a wall between us, but it's not what it seems

It's only made of concrete and barbed wire

Concrete and barbed wire

Concrete and barbed wire

It's only made of concrete and barbed wire

Somewhere in Louisiana, my sugar's doing time

But he can't spend time with me

If he could get over this wall he'd see

That it's only made of concrete and barbed wire

Concrete and barbed wire

Concrete and barbed wire

It's only made of concrete and barbed wire

Concrete and barbed wire

Concrete and barbed wire

It's only made of concrete and barbed wire
