Palace Walls

I wonder what they're doing

behind the palace walls tonight?

I wonder if they're watching their TV?

I wonder if anyone's hungry

or if they all had enough to eat?

Was it vegetables and meat?

Was the ice cream smooth and sweet

Tonight?

I wonder if anyone's sick

behind the palace walls tonight?

I wonder if they're dying

of a strange disease?

Of course a doctor lives there

and he watches them every day

and he'll do anything to save

their precious life

I wonder if the kids are on drugs

behind those palace walls tonight?

I wonder if they feel loved

or just put up with?

I wonder if anyone died

from a random drive-by?

or Do they send them off to war?

I know they send us off to war everyday

I wonder if anyone feels

that the walls are closing in?

I wonder if they've been forgiven

of their sins?

I wonder if anyone's crying

behind the palace walls tonight?

or is it just us in the street?

Is it just us in the street

tonight?
