Tearing Everyone Down

I thought I'd begun to see a change

But the more things change, the more they stay the same

Backstabbing and name-calling, the trademarks of your act

You talk and talk of unity but divide with your attacks

(You say) I'd like to see a change

I'd like to see a change

I'd like to see a change

But I'm too busy

Tearing everyone down

Tearing everyone down

All us kids try to make a change

Some kids start a band, others start a zine

You, no matter what your path

You throw a curve in what could be achieved

Then give up and move onto some other thing

(You say) I'd like to see a change

I'd like to see a change

I'd like to see a change

But I'm too busy

Tearing everyone down

Tearing everyone down

Take a break from your fights

Try to open your mind tonight

When you feel that's complete

Then we can tackle this society

You may not like everything in life I do

But that doesn't mean I'm not trying to change

The same problems as you

(You say) I'd like to see a change

I'd like to see a change

I'd like to see a change

But I'm too busy

Tearing everyone down

Tearing everyone down

Tearing everyone down

Tearing everyone down
