Rick Springfield: Tear it all down

I walk through 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 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 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 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
