[Verse 1]
This wall divides us
We're on two different sides
But this wall is not real
How can it be real
It's only made of concrete and barbed wire

[Chorus]
Concrete and barbed wire
Concrete and barbed wire
It's only made of concrete and barbed wire

[Verse 2]
Well, back in Algiers, my darlin' broke my heart
Can't seem to break down this wall
With two strong hands, he couldn't move it at all
It's only made of concrete and barbed wire

[Chorus]
Concrete and barbed wirе
Concrete and barbed wirе
It's only made of concrete and barbed wire

[Verse 3]
Well, down in Opelousas, the dogs are at the gates
And they're mean, Lord, they're mean
There's a wall between us, but it's not what it seems
It's only made of concrete and barbed wire
[Chorus]
Concrete and barbed wire
Concrete and barbed wire
It's only made of concrete and barbed wire

[Verse 4]
Well, somewhere in Louisiana, my sugar's doing time
He can't seem to spend time with me
If he could only get over this wall he would see
It's only made of concrete and barbed wire

[Chorus]
Well, concrete and barbed wire
Concrete and barbed wire
It's only made of concrete and barbed wire

Concrete and barbed wire
Well, concrete and barbed wire
It's only made of concrete and barbed wire
