|
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 |
|
Now, the echoes roar for story read |
|
That was hardly understood and never any good |
|
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 |
|
Build me up |
|
Build me up |
