|
Reaching for your gun, you had none, so you stabbed a wounded arm |
|
And you drank the blood of a bleeding friend |
|
And quit your lying face of trust and love you once offered traces of |
|
Knowing well you were never meaning them |
|
And you laughed and you danced and it let you feel fine for a while |
|
Hanging out with the kids who you knew soon would fall out of style |
|
And took your mark at dawn down a line of destruction you had drawn |
|
Through a town you were never welcome in |
|
And dug your fingers good in the cracks in the mortar, steel, and wood |
|
As you drank your cup of sweet revenge |
|
And you plotted and planned and you counted the days til they came |
|
Hiding up in your tower, tuning out every fool who complained |
|
It's so long looking down what you're on |
|
If your speech is so lame and just goes on and on |
|
If it makes you feel good, you can make them feel bad |
|
It's an easy call |
|
So when nothing remains you can stand there and claim |
|
You've destroyed them all |
|
You've destroyed them all |
|
Now all your love's a grave and every year disappears |
|
I heard someone mark the season you went wasting in |
|
So take your walk at dawn through the line of destruction you had drawn |
|
Through to rear your head to sink again |
|
It's a long way to walk when you're wrong |
|
If you're sneaking through town with your wrecking ball on |
|
If it makes you feel good, you can make them feel bad |
|
It's an easy call |
|
So when nothing remains you can stand proud and claim |
|
You've destroyed them all |
|
It's so easy |
|
Take a swing and watch them fall |
|
You're a wrecking ball |
