Barbwire Fence Lyrics - Singles - Brian Setzer

They took the coal from the mountains, ripped the fruit from the soil 

Pulled the fish from the sea, drained the earth of it's oil 

Took the christ out of christmas, pulled the sun from the sky 

Their daddies told them to never ask why 

The barbwire fence is gettin' higher and higher 

We're gettin' ready to fight fire with fire 

It's gettin' so there ain't a kind word said 

But we gotta keep movin' on, pushin' on ahead 

They led a blind man to a cliff, gave a crippled man a kick 

Took a poor man to the cleaners and a rich man has his pick 

Gave a three piece man a job, took an old man to a whore 

Sent a young boy to a place he ain't never been before

The barbwire fence is gettin' higher and higher 

We're gettin' ready to fight fire with fire 

It's gettin' so there ain't a kind word said 

But we gotta keep movin' on, pushin' on ahead 

Well if they force me to reason, if they ask me to doubt 

I'll fuss then baby and fight 'em baby, ow 

East wind is blowin' and a full moon is high 

There's just no purpose, there's no reason why
