Lyric Tear It All Down
I walk thru the streets of my old town, trying to remember all the feelings
But the only feeling was that something sweet had come and gone forever
There s factories in the fields where we used to run
Smoke in the sky that blocks out the sun
There s a hard day coming for us, daughters and sons, wake up
Some things had better change
Tear it all down - and starting here and now
Let it all burn - so many souls in pain
Tear it all down - too many hearts in doubt, we re never gonna learn
All of the treasures we own, God bless the house, the car and the T.V.
They built us a prison without any locks, ah hah
And meanwhile the men who claim God on their side
Spit out their message and sell me a ride
While we look for idols inside of the fashion magazine
Things are gonna change
Chorus:
Tear it all down - and starting here and now
Let it all burn - so many souls in pain
Tear it all down - too many hearts in doubt
We re never gonna learn - there s a wall to keep us in
Tear it all down - and walls to keep us out
Let it all burn - too many souls in pain
Tear it all down - too many hearts in doubt - we re never gonna learn
Lying naked here in the shrine of your embrace, your embrace
We touch the burning cauldron to your angel face, angel face
(Solo)
I look at my boy as he sleeps, an innocent facing the lions
I wish there was some way I could talk to my father again, ah hah
There s a bomb in the schoolhouse, wired to the face of the clock
In the face of disaster we stand like a rock
You can t want your children to pay for your sins, wake up
Some things are gonna change
Tear it all down - some things are gonna fall
Tear it all down - we can t go back again
Tear it all down - with backs against the wall
Tear it all down - there s a wall to keep us in
Tear it all down - there s a wall to keep us out
Let it all burn - too many souls in pain
Tear it all down - too many hearts in doubt
We re never gonna learn - some things are gonna change
chorus
Some things are gonna change
chorus (to fade)
