Not so much to keep you out, more to keep me in

Protection, prevention, detection, detention
There's nowhere to defect to anymoreI'm leaving the world, it's all wrong
Not so much what men are doing much more what they're not

Not so much to keep you out, more to keep me in
I'm building a wall, a fine wall
Not so much to keep you out, more to keep me inI'm building a wall, a fine wall
