About the Artist
Lyrics
[Verse 1] We build buildings for the dead We build restrooms for the sick We build up walls for everything We make a wall for the sake of it [Chorus] And buildings for the people And paintings for the blind Capable of giving life Or taking out your eyes And buildings for the people And paintings for the blind Capable of giving life Or taking out your eyes [Verse 2] Queue for bread is entertainment When they're trying to blow your head off So from the womb into the tomb Making sure you feel at home [Chorus] And buildings for the people And paintings for the blind Capable of giving life Or taking out your eyes And buildings for the people And paintings for the blind Capable of giving life Or taking out your eyes [Instrumental Break] [Guitar Solo] [Outro] History will make us or history will break us All time is the same All the hindrances linger We're treated just the same with fame While branded in this reconciles Get ready to say goodbye Get ready to say goodbye
