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
