Tear It Down

A stranger’s knocking
Leave me alone
Mindless persistence
Has cut me to the bone
Turned on the devilvision
It took away my breath
But I won’t let it sell me
That I was scared to death
I‘m not a robot
I‘m not a clone
You build the rocket
I’ll drive it home
My eyes are bleeding
Can’t kill the sound
So, move the mountain
Gonna take it, gonna break it, gonna
Tear it down
No wall’s too big for me
Right now
I want my friends to see
Tear it down
All my brothers just hear me now
No motherfucker gonna tell us how
Tear it down
No wall’s too big for me
Right now
I want the world to see
There’s no time for waiting around
Tear it down
Big brother’s watching
He’s everywhere
But does he realize
The revolution's in the air
Are you still with me?
Are you alive?
Let’s take this down stone by stone
And break it up before we die
I‘m not a robot
I‘m not a clone
You build the rocket
I’ll drive it home
My eyes are bleeding
Can’t kill the sound
So, move the mountain
Gonna take it, gonna break it, gonna
