I've got 800 miles of open border [D] right outside my door.
But we've got many, many little pickup trucks [C] who've declared their own [G] damn war.
But now the government wants to build a barrier [D] like Oberlin.
Twelve feet tall.
But if Uncle Sam sends the illegals home, [C] who's gonna build the [G] wall?
Who's gonna build your wall, boys?
[C] Who's gonna [G] mow your lawn?
Who's gonna cook [Em] your Mexican food [D] when your Mexican mate's gone?
[G] Who's gonna wax the floor tonight [C] down at the local [A] mall?
[G] Who's gonna wash [Em] your bedding sprays?
[D] Who's gonna [G] build your wall?
Hey, I ain't got no politics, so [D] don't lay that rap on me.
Yeah, left wing, right wing, up wing, down wing, all I see is [C] strip malls from sea to [G] shining sea.
Cause it's the fat cat white developer who [D] created the whole damn squaw.
And in the pyramid scheme of dirty jobs, [C] who's gonna build [G] the wall?
Who's gonna build your wall, boys?
[C] Who's gonna [G] mow your lawn?
Who's gonna cook your [Em] Mexican food [D] when your Mexican mate's gone?

We've got fundamentalist Muslims.
We've got [D] fundamentalist Jews.
We've got fundamentalist Christians.
[C] They'll stir the whole thing up for [G]
you.
But as I travel around this big old world, [D] the thing that I most fear
is a white man in a golf shirt [C] with a cell phone in [G] his ear.
Who's gonna build your wall, boys?
