[Verse 1]
There was a building there
And it was brutalist
And it was beautiful
It was my favorite
But it’s not there no more
Because they tore it down
They really ruined it
[Verse 2]
My dads an architect
He used to show me it
When he would drive me to the psychiatry
Again and again, didn’t come back a man
I guess I ruined it
[Chorus]
Ah-ah-ah-ahhh-ahhh-ahhh
Ah-ah-ah-ahhh-ahhh-ahhh
[Verse 3]
Sometimes I lay awake when everyone’s asleep
And I can see the arches over me
There was a building there
And it was brutalist
And it was beautiful
[Verse 4]
Yeah, yeah
It was standing on the right side of the street
They cut my hair at the psychiatry
But it was really there
It meant so much to me
But now they ruined
[Chorus]
Yeah, but now they ruined it (ah-ah-ah-ahhh)
Yeah, yeah, but now they ruined it (ahhh-ahhh)
Yeah, yeah, they really ruined it (ah-ah-ah-ahhh)
Y-yeah, they really ruined it (ahhh-ahhh)
[Bridge]
Yeah, they took a knife to it
They took a bomb to it
They bulldozed it
They didn’t give a shit
It really breaks my heart what they did to it
They really ruined it
[Chorus]
Yeah, but now they ruined it (ah-ah-ah-ahhh)
Yeah, yeah, they took a knife to it (ahhh-ahhh)
Yeah, yeah, they took a bomb to it (ah-ah-ah-ahhh)
Yeah, yeah, they bulldozed it (ahhh-ahhh)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, they took a knife to it (ah-ah-ah-ahhh)
Uh huh, they took a bomb to it (ahhh-ahhh)
Yeah, uh, they bulldozed it (ah-ah-ah-ahhh)
Yeah, yeah, they really ruined it (ahhh-ahhh)
[Outro]
There was a building there
And it was brutalist
And it was beautiful, my favorite
I wanna take you there
I wanna take you there
But they ruined it
I wanna take you there
I wanna take you there
I wanna take you there
But they tore it down
It’s not there no more
They really ruined it
