Let us some day that we decide how
Let us stand like cattle towards blows
Let us rest these hands but not to d**h
So we're desperate
So enamoured
And these arms that carry us across
Let them stay
Let them stay
And these boots that walk us all this way
Let them stay
Let them stay
We stand it up
We tear it down
We stand it up
We tear it down
We stand it up
We tear it down
We stand it up
We tear it down
We decide our d**hs
As we decide our job
We decide on us as we're dead young
But surely there must be more than one way
To build these walls
To paint these pictures away
We stand it up
We tear it down
We stand it up
We tear it down
We stand it up
We tear it down
We stand it up
We tear it down
We stand it up
We tear it down
Built in the fire
Built in flame
Built in denial
Pictures of today
We stand it up
We tear it down
