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

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
