Verse 1:
Can’t you see the
clocks are ticking away?
They try to fit more
hours into the day
To see that you was
crunching numbers away
We’re running out breath
just to keep up the pace
And when did the
revolver start the race?
When did the revolver
start the race?
Accelerated architecture creates
a manufactured lifestyle
for the deranged
They swallow up the green
and build up the gray
And like tomorrows
kids dispose of today
And when d’you think the
roots will buy them out?
When d’you think the
roots will buy them out?

Chorus 2:
Crooked minds under gray skies
They can’t live til something dies
(the kids will tear it down)
until something dies
(the kids will tear it down)
Crooked minds ain’t satisfied
until the ground touches the sky
(the kids will tear it down)
touches the sky
(the kids will tear it down)

Verse 2:
Cemetery statue stare into space
sucked into a social media craze
They’re looking for an
answer to explain
the reason why
disaster strikes again
A picture perfect family
sits by the lake
swimming in a sea
of mechanical waste

And can’t they see
a tragedy awaits?
Can’t they see a
tragedy awaits?

Chorus 3:

until the ground touches the sky
(the kids will tear it down)
touches the sky
(the kids will tear it down)

Dm C Bb A-Gm Dm-C-Bb--A-Gm-

We’ll tear it down

Bridge:
Cauterize these butchered eyes
Tangled in their power lines
Tear the ground up with their lives
Raise the caskets in the sky
Someday soon they’ll realize
Nothing’s left for you and I
Nothing’s left for you and I
