Tear It Down Lyrics

From your first step to your last breath
Voices get louder and louder
They pound their way deep into your brain
From your teacher / supervisor
From your mother and father
But it's time for you to break free from your chains

You can do what you want to do
You can be who you want to be
Nothing can stand in our way, hey!
They tried to build a wall
They tried to lock the door
Nothing can stand in our way, hey!

Day into night, night into day
Yelling and preaching at you
'Til you're brainwashed and they're to blame
Tell you how to act
Tell you how to live
But not by their example
It's like they're trying to drive you insane

You can do what you want to do
You can be who you want to be
Nothing can stand in our way, hey!
They tried to build a wall
They tried to lock the door
Nothing can stand in our way, hey!

Tear it down, break it down
Break it down, tear it down

From your first step to your last breath
Voices get louder and louder
They pound their way deep into your brain
Day into night, night into day
Yelling and preaching at you
'Til you're brainwashed and they're to blame

You can do what you want to do
You can be who you want to be
Nothing can stand in our way, hey!
They tried to build a wall
They tried to lock the door
Nothing can stand in our way, hey!

You can do what you want to do
You can be who you want to be
Nothing can stand in our way, hey!
They tried to build a wall
They tried to lock the door
Nothing can stand in our way, hey!

Tear it down, break it down
Break it down, tear it down
