We will start at the beginning when he led them to the tree.
Eat from any one at all except that one there, says he
Was it on the 1st of April, what was on his mind at all?
Sure you might as well be talking to the wall.

Chorus:
You might as well be talking to the wall,
In one ear and out the other,
You may shout or yell or bawl
But you might as well be talking to the wall.


A dog marks out his kingdom with one leg up to the wall,
Now evolution squirms,
For human brains are just as small,
Spraying colours on the kerbstones,
Hanging flags that always fall
Sure you might as well be talking to the wall

Chorus

Super Power play God, drive crisis to the brink,
Sell weapons to both sides,
Then stand back condemn the stink
But ask them to condemn the greed that drives
Them one and all,
You might as well be talking to the wall

Chorus

If you can't improve on silence, then do not speak at all,
But everybody's talking, hear that lonesome mobile call,
Is that you? This is me! Can You hear me? Not at all!
Sure you might as well be talking to the wall.

Chorus
