Lyrics
Great big trucks on the boulevard
Belching smoke in a line
Make the turn onto my street
The wrecking crew has arrived
Set up cones and security
Keep the neighbors away
Put up signs and barricades
The wrecking crew is here today
You built this up, now you tear it down
Rome was built in a day
Spent my life on this monument
Now I?ll take it away
Drew up plans like an architect
Poured foundations of grace
Best of intentions, ambitious desire
Now hardhats are wearing my face
You built this up, now you tear it down
Babel in my back yard
I spent years building up this place
Now I?ll take it down hard
Crowbar Neglect
(Tear it down)
Bulldozer Secrets
(Tear it down)
Backhoe Complacency
(Tear it down)
Sledgehammer Lies
(Tear it down)
You built this up
(Tear it down)
With hard work and luck
(Tear it down)
You molded this cup
(Tear it down)
Now you self destruct
(Tear it down)
