《为什么我们要修墙-Why we build the wall》取自于2018年获得8项托尼大奖的音乐剧《冥界Hadestown》，目前正在纽约百老汇上演，这个音乐剧用现代的艺术手法描写了希腊神话里一段爱情悲剧，音乐家俄耳甫斯是太阳神和缪斯女神的儿子，他经过千苦万难去冥界，欲救回死去的妻子欧律狄克，好不容易用他优美的琴声打动了冥王Hades放人，也答应了冥王的一个条件，就是在出冥界之前，不能看妻子一眼。他一路在前走，妻子一路紧跟，就在出冥界的那一刻，妻子抱怨他的冷落，他情不自禁一回头，妻子又被抓了回去。受这个打击，他一直放浪形骸，浪迹天崖，最后被一帮女人砍了头。天神宙斯见他凄惨，便把他的七弦琴挂在了天空，这便是天琴星座的来历。

这首歌是冥王和他的徒子徒孙的合唱，和全民K歌上的歌友捣鼓而成，女声大本嗓学黑人也是拼了，呵呵，对了，掌声后还没结束。承蒙本坛甜虫歌友的推荐，在此深表感谢。

Why do we build the wall
My children, my children?
Why do we build the wall?

[Company:]
Why do we build the wall?
We build the wall to keep us free
That's why we build the wall
We build the wall to keep us free

[Hades:]
How does the wall keep us free
My children, my children?
How does the wall keep us free?

[Company:]
How does the wall keep us free?
The wall keeps out the enemy
And we build the wall to keep us free
That's why we build the wall
We build the wall to keep us free

[Hades:]
Who do we call the enemy
My children, my children?
Who do we call the enemy?

[Company:]
Who do we call the enemy?
The enemy is poverty
And the wall keeps out the enemy
And we build the wall to keep us free
That's why we build the wall
We build the wall to keep us free

[Hades:]
Because we have and they have not
My children, my children
Because they want what we have got

[Company:]
Because we have and they have not
Because they want what we have got
The enemy is poverty
And the wall keeps out the enemy
And we build the wall to keep us free
That's why we build the wall
We build the wall to keep us free

[Hades:]
What do we have that they should want
My children, my children?
What do we have that they should want?

[Eurydice:]
What do we have that they should want?
We have a wall to work upon
We have work and they have none

[Hades:]
And our work is never done!
My children, my children!
And the war is never won

[Hades & company:]
The enemy is poverty
And the wall keeps out the enemy
And we build the wall to keep us free
That's why we build the wall
We build the wall to keep us free
We build the wall to keep us free...

[Hermes:]
Then Hades told Eurydice:

[Hades:]
There are papers to be signed
Step into my office

[Hermes:]
And he closed the door behind
Now, a lot can happen behind closed doors; that's for sure, brother, that's a fact!
But a lot can happen on the factory floor, when the foreman turns his back

[Persephone:]
Anybody want a drink?
