lyrics

Serve me some wine,
lend me your time,
I've got a story on my mind
all it's about is making walls to live inside.
There was this guy,
he didn't like
wasting his talents and his time,
waiting for accidents to strip him of his life.
He lived on the ground
in a compound
made from what straw would lay around;
often too short to build a shelter nor a crown.
But he had a skill,
he knew how to build
sturdy brick houses on steep hills.
He was the best but had to chew a bitter pill.
No one would pay
a dime at his day
no matter how much stone he lay.
They filled up his boat with bricks but he was still O.K.
'Cause all of the weight
they put at his gate
wasn't an accident but fate,
now he could build with bricks instead of sticks and hay.
So, high off the ground,
away from the crowd,
he build a mighty, giant house
just for himself; his home-made walls made him so proud.

Some like to bake a cake just to eat it themselves.
Some like to make a sculpture just to put it on the shelf.
Some like to work out, not for beauty but for health.
Some would keep their integrity and give up wealth.

Serve me some wine,
lend me your time,
I've got a story on my mind
all it's about is making walls to live inside.
