Click above to hear Ruins For You
Do you recall the vows we made when we were 17?
We said we would never be like their generation was
Now the rent must be paid, ideals just fade away
Security is very nice, but is it worth the price?
But I'm still here dreaming
Deep down I still believe
I'd like to burn the whole world down
Raise it to the ground
*Tear it down! Tear it fuckin' down!!!
I was born in 67, where are you now summer of love?
Death counts on the TV, riots in the streets
But there was something in the air,
a dream that we could change the world
I guess you'd say it was naive, but what's the
alternative?
The air in paradise is poisoned
There's nothing to believe
Nihilism, sex, and drugs
Without wonder, without meaning
Tear it down! Tear it fucking down!!!
You're clinging to tradition,
cause you're too weak to search for truth
You closed your eyes to introspection,
no urge to know yourself
Ignore the world, accept what's given,
defend the status quo
But when your life is seeping out,
will you still be so sure?
Wave your flags, kneel to your gods
Don't ask questions, just believe
But don't look to me,
I don't know anything
I just spit and growl
Tear it down! Tear it fucking down!!!
The media are liars, the teachers are insane!
So listen all you politicians, I don't believe in
you!!
Jesus, Buddha, and Mohammad, I'll think for myself
Tear it down! Tear it fucking down!!!
1994 - Caeser Pink
