Before You Tear It Down
Don't ever mention what's happening here
A misplaced word is going to cost you dear
Freedom of thought starts to disappear
When you only hear what you wanna to hear
A culture cancelled is a dangerous game
Too quick to bend the knee leaves a culture weak and lame
And if I agree to disagree
That shouldn't make me the enemy
My mind is open and I can see
Exactly where this game is gonna lead
So before you tear it down
Take a good look around
And please try to contemplate
The kind of hell that's gonna take its place
Trenchant views and deep divides
Dishonest actors who know their lines
Deaf to voices of dissent
Redefine what was never meant
This is the enemy of common sense
It's a long way down to try and start again
So before you tear it down
Take a good look around
And please try to contemplate
A culture based on fear and hate
So before you tear it down
Take a good look around
And please try to contemplate
The kind of hell that's gonna take its place
A misplaced word is going to cost you dear
Freedom of thought starts to disappear
When you only hear what you wanna to hear
A culture cancelled is a dangerous game
Too quick to bend the knee leaves a culture weak and lame
And if I agree to disagree
That shouldn't make me the enemy
My mind is open and I can see
Exactly where this game is gonna lead
So before you tear it down
Take a good look around
And please try to contemplate
The kind of hell that's gonna take its place
Trenchant views and deep divides
Dishonest actors who know their lines
Deaf to voices of dissent
Redefine what was never meant
This is the enemy of common sense
It's a long way down to try and start again
So before you tear it down
Take a good look around
And please try to contemplate
A culture based on fear and hate
So before you tear it down
Take a good look around
And please try to contemplate
The kind of hell that's gonna take its place
