{The Chorus of Workers prepare themselves for Nico's speech. One of them places a microphone in the middle of the stage. Nico and Jenna enter from opposite sides of the factory floor. Jenna now wears all black. Nico stands behind the microphone.}
Nico
Why do we build the wall
My children, my children?
Why do we build the wall?
Workers
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
Nico
How does the wall keep us free
My children, my children?
How does the wall keep us free?
Workers
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
Nico
Who do we call the enemy
My children, my children?
Who do we call the enemy?
Workers
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
Nico
Because we have and they have not
My children, my children
Because they want what we have got
Workers
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
{Tyler enters.}
Nico
What do we have that they should want
My children, my children?
What do we have that they should want?
Tyler & Workers
What do we have that they should want?
We have a wall to work upon
We have work and they have none
Nico
And our work is never done
My children, my children!
And the war is never won!
Nico, Tyler & Workers
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!

Then Nico told Tyler:
Nico
There are papers to be signed,
Step into my office.
{Tyler follows Nico into his office.}
Brendon
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...
Jenna
Anybody want a drink?
{End of ACT I.}
