Turn It Up

It's been a long time coming, come along and take a ride
If you don't have the strength to carry on
We'll drink to mother's ruin and swallow up our pride
And it won't hurt if you don't know it's gone
The same old songs all bring you back where you don't wanna be
And the rest don't really mean much anymore
Cause the lies have all lingered on much longer
Than the coming clean
And we all know that art died in the war

So turn it up, and tear it down
Hey, everything under the sun's gonna crumble to the ground
Turn it up, turn it down
Though we all know the sun's gonna burn out anyhow

Once the dust has settled, it's back on down the line
Telling all the stories that you didn't wanna hear
about sticks and stones and broken homes
And always killing time
We'll take our bow and all just disappear

Turn it up, and tear it down
Hey, everything under the sun's gonna crumble to the ground
Turn it up, turn it down
Yeah we all know the sun's gonna burn out anyhow

So take another turn at turning water into wine
and light a match to watch it burn away
Cause words are all disposable so the... must be the same anyway

Turn it up, and tear it down
Hey, everything under the sun's gonna crumble to the ground
Turn it up, turn it down
Though we all know the sun's gonna burn out anyhow
Though we all know the sun's gonna burn out anyhow
