Tear It Apart
We scraped the flint and made the spark
Then blazed our path without a chart
But we fell short, our progress lost
So, you dropped a ten ton bomb
We started speaking out in psalms
And when the truce is laid to rest
It's not myself who'll acquiesce
To hear you speak of just demands
Such empty words from artless men
Coming down off your lofty plinth
But now you've pushed a bit too hard
I strummed a chord on my guitar
And drove a beat through our heartland
Somehow, that you might understand
If you stop on a dime
You'll break my heart
If you fall out of line
You'll tear it apart
The forces are prime
To tear it apart
When truth is locked in mediocrity
It's not my place to offer sympathies
Truly shocked at what this used to be
Here's a thought - a takeaway
Know that it will be ok
With hands embedded in the clay
Truth is, we'll still be ok
Hey!
Then blazed our path without a chart
But we fell short, our progress lost
So, you dropped a ten ton bomb
We started speaking out in psalms
And when the truce is laid to rest
It's not myself who'll acquiesce
To hear you speak of just demands
Such empty words from artless men
Coming down off your lofty plinth
But now you've pushed a bit too hard
I strummed a chord on my guitar
And drove a beat through our heartland
Somehow, that you might understand
If you stop on a dime
You'll break my heart
If you fall out of line
You'll tear it apart
The forces are prime
To tear it apart
When truth is locked in mediocrity
It's not my place to offer sympathies
Truly shocked at what this used to be
Here's a thought - a takeaway
Know that it will be ok
With hands embedded in the clay
Truth is, we'll still be ok
Hey!
