Sorry, I cant find the CD to even give you the exact name of the song. I think its either "the wall" or "piss on the wall".

Its an anti-war song throughout, but the wall they talk about pissing on is the memorial wall.

part of the song; "Now I try to hold it steady, as I piss on the wall".

Its on the freeze frame album.

Well let's see, the song is from 1981 and the Vietnam memorial wasn't dedicated until 1982. And the lyrics are pretty obtuse. Seems to me it's more likely they were referring to the Berlin Wall?



Piss on the Wall

(Peter Wolf/Seth Justman) - 1981
Now some people think the world is what it ain't
To some I'm a sinner, to others a saint
Some folks say the world ain't what is is
All I know is I just got to take a wiz
Where am I goin' and where have I been
My head's in the clouds and my tail's in a spin
Jumpin' out of planes for the thrill of it all
Then I bounce back and take a Piss On The Wall
Politics - Shmolitics
They oughta save their breath
Mean streak - blue streak
They sentence me to death
Harangue me from a tree
Twist and shout until I crawl
Do the flip - do the flop
Piss On The Wall
Well the Yanks hate the Reds
And the Greeks hate the Turks
I really hate to say it
But they're all a bunch of jerks
Seems like everybody's shakin'
'Cause the big one's 'bout to fall
I'm just tryin' to hold it steady while I
Piss On The Wall
