[Intro: Neil Tennant]
If you've done nothing wrong
You've got nothing to fear
If you've something to hide
You shouldn't even be here

[Refrain]
Protection! Prevention! Detection! Detention!
There's nowhere to defect to any more!
Protection! Prevention! Detection! Detention!
There's nowhere to defect to any more!
Protection! Prevеntion! Detection! Detеntion!
There's nowhere to defect to any more!

[Verse 1: Neil Tennant]
I'm building a wall, a fine wall
Not so much to keep you out
More to keep me in

[Verse 1: Neil Tennant]
I'm building a wall, a fine wall
Not so much to keep you out
More to keep me in

[Verse 2: Neil Tennant]
I'm losing my head - well, why not?
More work for the undertaker
Means there's less for me
[Verse 1: Neil Tennant]
I'm building a wall, a fine wall
Not so much to keep you out
More to keep me in
