Hidden behind the slums there's a fortress
Shrouded in trees and reinforced walls
Concrete moat to keep our world out
Walls and gates to keep their world in
In the fortress they can pretend to be one of us
Within the walls they can learn
About a world they've never seen
And a life they'll never find
Peering from the spires
Blind with splendor
Numbed by their convenience
Drunk with vanity
Deep inside the walls
Surrounded by scrolls
Deafened by pomposity
They know nothing
Nothing
Nothing
We'll see how they fare
When the gates open
And they spill out
Gazelles running free
Among jackals and thieves
No more concrete moat to keep our world out
No more walls or gates to keep their world in
