Here on the peak and I'm under
The crash of the lightning and thunder
What have we done, what have we done now?
I'm searching for answers in the shifting clouds
What will we do when it gets too loud

We've got to tear it down
We've got to tear it down
We've got to tear it down
We've got to tear it down
We've got to tear it down
Build it up, then you tear it down
T-t-t tear it down
Build it up, then you tear it all down, yeah, yeah

I'm here on the streets and I hunger
We're not getting wiser nor younger
What have we done, what have we done now?
I'm searching for something in the shifting crowd
What will we do when it gets too loud

We've got to tear it down
We've got to tear it down
We've got to tear it down
We've got to tear it down
We've got to tear it down
Build it up, then you tear it down
T-t-t tear it down
Build it up, then you tear it all down, yeah, yeah

When we build it up, we tear it down
And we tear it down no doubt

Build it up, then you tear it down
T-t-t tear it down
Build it up, then you tear it all down, yeah, yeah
Build it up, then you tear it down
T-t-t tear it down
Build it up, then you tear it down, yeah
