These lyrics from The Call's "The Walls Came Down" sure apply now, don't they?

This came out in the mid-80s, as I recall:

Well they blew the horns
And the walls came down
They'd all been warned
And the walls came down
They just stood there laughing
They're not laughing anymore
The walls came down

Sanctuary fades
congregation splits
Nightly military raids
The congregation splits
It's a song of assassins
Ringin' in your ears

We got terrorist thinking
Playing on fears

Well they blew the horns
And the walls came down
They'd all been warned
But the walls came down
I do't think there are any Russians
And there ain't no Yanks
Just corporate criminals
playin' with tanks

1. I remember this!

Thanx for the lyrics but I can't remember the melody. This was one of my favorite songs at the time. I don't think I ever knew the full lyrics (no internet back then).

5. It is catchy.

I like the ya-ya-ya-yaaaaah-ya-yas

I just downloaded it ... I'm reliving my youth through iTunes.
