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 for everyone

There's factories in the fields where we used to run

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

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 a fashion magazine

Things are gonna 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, 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) 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 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 you're 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 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
