This wall divides us, we`re 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
