How Many Walls Lyrics - Rise Against

How many walls can you put up? 

How many guns 'til you feel safe? 

How many times can we watch this story over and over and over again? 

And how many years have we wasted counting the lies that we've been fed? 

For something to change we have waited over and over and over again 

I'm entertained by the monkey on your back 

But can we still call it a joke if no one laughs? 

It's either going up in smoke around me or according to plan 

A bittersweet disaster mounting over and over again

How many walls can you put up? 

How many guns 'til you feel safe? 

How many times can we watch this story over and over and over again? 

How many years have we wasted counting the lies that we've been fed? 

For something to change we have waited over and over and over again 

Chasing our own tail, the more we learn 

The less we know as the monsters lost in history 

And now making their return, as we bow down 

Roll out the carpet red as rose 

We should have known 

How many walls can you put up? 

How many guns 'til you feel safe? 

How many times can we watch this story over and over and over again? 

How many years have we wasted counting the lies that we've been fed? 

For something to change we have waited over and over and over and over again 

How many walls? 

How many guns? 

How many times? 

Over and over and over again 

Over and over and over again 

And how many lives have been wasted? 

How many bodies laid to rest? 

Sick of the lies, the same old story 

All over and over and over and over 

Over and over and over and over again
