Rick Springfield - Tear It All Down Lyrics
I walk thru the streets of my old townTrying to remember all the feelingsBut the only feeling was that somethingSweet had come and gone for everyoneTheres factories in the fields where we used to runTheres a hard day coming for us daughters and sonsWake up, some things had better changeTear it all down and starting here and nowLet it all burn, so many souls in painTear it all down, too many hearts in doubtWere never gonna learnAll of the treasures we ownGod bless the house, the car and the t.v.They built us a prison without any locksAnd meanwhile the men who claim God on their sideSpit out their message and sell me a rideWhile we look for idols inside a fashion magazineThings are gonna changeTear it all down and starting here and nowLet it all burn, so many souls in painTear it all down, too many hearts in doubtWere never gonna learn, theres a wall to keep us inTear it all down, and walls to keep us outLet it all burn, too many souls in painTear it all down, too many hearts in doubtWere never gonna learnLying ***** 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 sleepsAn innocent facing the lionsI wish there was some way I could talk to my father againTheres a bomb in the schoolhouseWired to the face of the clockIn the face of disaster we stand like a rockYou cant want youre children to pay for your sins wake upSome things are gonna changeTear it all down, some things are gonna fallTear it all down, we cant go back againTear it all down, with backs against the wallTear it all down, theres a wall to keep us inTear it all down, theres a wall to keep us outLet it all burn, too many souls in painTear it all down, too many hearts in doubtTear it all down, some things are gonna fallTear it all down, we cant go back againTear it all down, with backs against the wallTear it all down, theres a wall to keep us inTear it all down, theres a wall to keep us outLet it all burn, too many souls in painTear it all down, too many hearts in doubt
