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, and tear down
these joining walls
so they can't climb at all
so they can't climb at all
yeah, 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, and tear down
these joining walls
so they can't climb at all
so they can't climb at all
Instrumental:(It's just the chords for the verse then the chorus )
well madness reigned
and paradise drowned
when Babel's walls came a-crashing down
now the echoes roar
a story writ
that was hardly understood
and never any good
so, build me up, tear me down
like a skyscraper,
build me up, and tear down
these joining walls
so they can't climb at all
so they can't climb at all
