Every empire was raised by the slave Built through the ages - destroyed in a day Solid walls your golden cage, now it's time to turn the page Tear it down - we're gonna burn it to the ground - you'll never learn it Watch us now - we're tearing down the world Tear it down - we're gonna burn it to the ground - you'll never learn it Watch us now - we're tearing down the world Brother to brother, father to son No one recalls when the madness began - and nobody cares! Can you live your life in hell, can't you hear the warning bell? Water's like acid and heaven's like hell whole world's like paper and steel What should we do if it won't ring a bell tell me just what do you feel? Drink out the ocean and stare down the star burn down the forest and steal Food from the hungry, you made it so far tell me just what do you feel?
