Wailing Wall Lyrics

(Words and Music: Mark)

I wrote this song about a bizillion years ago. It was meant to be a metaphor for repentance...but mostly it's a swing tune with a really cool guitar solo.

They put the prayers in the holes where the bullets used to be
They speak their piece about life, love, country, friends and family
And the chosen people know it's the place to go
Not far from the temple, just a stone's throw

Well they cant be hesitating, no time to stall
They're gonna move on over to the wailing wall
They got teenage girls driving tanks y'all
They've had Moses and the prophets among their ranks, uh huh

And they know they're headed for a third world war
They know they're outnumbered, but diplomacy's a bore,
It's a bore
Well the world has had 'em running since before they could crawl
Gotta slide on over to the wailing wall

We've been too proud, too long, get ready for the fall Best be getting on over to the wailing wall, hey
They put the prayers in the holes where the bullets used to be
They speak their piece about life, love, country, friends and family
And the chosen people know it's the place to go
Not far from the temple, just a stone's throw, oh no

Well they can't be hesitating, no time to stall
They're gonna move on over to the wailing wall
Said the world had 'em running before they could crawl
Gonna slide on over to the wailing...
