Tear the House Down
This world is either spinnin' way too fast or way too slow
And you gotta keep your head above confusion
Gotta get a job, I guess it'll be Ontario
From the quiet bays to endless noise pollution
You're caught up in a brain drain
Can't live your life like a plain Jane
When ya hear the ghetto war blastin' on the radio
It's Yonge Street from Burkes Lane
Let's put 'er up one more time before we go
And tear the house down
Boys in boots and women with no shoes upon their feet
Time is flyin' 'til the early light
Tickin', tockin', now she's rockin', dancin' in the street
Put your troubles out of mind and out of sight
'Cause pocket change, nickel and dime
And common sense ain't worth the time
It's the same old, same old, wrapped in lily white
Let's shoot from the blue line
And put 'er up one more time tonight
We'll tear the house down
Tear the house down
Tear the house down
Tear the house down
So let's round up all the crowd
Loosen up the joint
Three sheets to the wind
Way up, she's gonna go tonight
Dance your feet down to your knees
Wake up the girls next door
Let's dance upon the roof
We'll dance about the kitchen floor
We'll tear the house down
Tear the house down
Tear the house down
Tear the house down
Tear the house down
Tear the house down
Tear the house down
Tear the house down
Yee-haw
And you gotta keep your head above confusion
Gotta get a job, I guess it'll be Ontario
From the quiet bays to endless noise pollution
You're caught up in a brain drain
Can't live your life like a plain Jane
When ya hear the ghetto war blastin' on the radio
It's Yonge Street from Burkes Lane
Let's put 'er up one more time before we go
And tear the house down
Boys in boots and women with no shoes upon their feet
Time is flyin' 'til the early light
Tickin', tockin', now she's rockin', dancin' in the street
Put your troubles out of mind and out of sight
'Cause pocket change, nickel and dime
And common sense ain't worth the time
It's the same old, same old, wrapped in lily white
Let's shoot from the blue line
And put 'er up one more time tonight
We'll tear the house down
Tear the house down
Tear the house down
Tear the house down
So let's round up all the crowd
Loosen up the joint
Three sheets to the wind
Way up, she's gonna go tonight
Dance your feet down to your knees
Wake up the girls next door
Let's dance upon the roof
We'll dance about the kitchen floor
We'll tear the house down
Tear the house down
Tear the house down
Tear the house down
Tear the house down
Tear the house down
Tear the house down
Tear the house down
Yee-haw
