RICK SPRINGFIELD lyrics : "Tear It All Down"

(Springfield)
I walk thru the streets of my old town
Trying to remember all the feelings

But the only feeling was that something
Sweet had come and gone for everyone
There's factories in the fields where

we used to run
There's a hard day coming for us
Daughters and sons

Wake up, some things had better change

[Chorus 1:]

Tear it all down and starting here and now
Let it all burn, so many souls in pain
Tear it all down, too many hearts in doubt

We're never gonna learn

All of the treasures we own

God bless the house, the car and the T.V.
They built us a prison without any locks
And meanwhile the men

who claim God on their side
Spit out their message and sell me a ride
While we look for idols inside a fashion magazine

Things are gonna change

[Chorus 2:]

Tear it all down and starting here and now
Let it all burn, so many souls in pain
Tear it all down, too many hearts in doubt

We're never gonna learn, there's a
wall to keep us in
Tear it all down, and walls to keep us out

Let it all burn, too many souls in pain
Tear it all down, too many hearts in doubt
We're never gonna learn


Lying naked here in the shrine of your embrace,
your embrace

We touch the burning cauldron to your
Angel face, angel face
I look at my boy as he sleeps

An innocent facing the lions
I wish there was some way I could talk
To my father again


There's a bomb in the schoolhouse
Wired to the face of the clock

In the face of disaster
We stand like a rock
You can't want you're children to pay

For your sins wake up
Some things are gonna change


Tear it all down, some things are gonna fall
Tear it all down, we can't go back again
Tear it all down, with backs against the wall

Tear it all down, There's a wall to keep us in
Tear it all down, There's a wall to keep us out
Let it all burn, too many souls in pain

Tear it all down, too many hearts in doubt

[Chorus 2]
