Bad Religion
"Skyscraper"
Come let us make bricks
and burn them hard
We'll build a city
with a tower for the world
and climb so we can reach
anything we may propose
anything at all
Build me up, Tear me down
like a skyscraper
Build me up, then tear down
These joining Walls
So they can't climb at all
I know why you tore it down that day
You thought, that if you got caught
we'd all go away
Like a spoiled little baby
who can't come out and play
You had your revenge
Build me up, tear me down
like a skyscraper
Build me up, then tear down
these joining walls
So they can't climb at all
Well madness reigned,
and paradise drowned,
when Babel's walls
came crashing down
and the echo was war
the story lived that was highly understood,
and never any good.
Build me up....
