Come let us make bricks   and burn them hard   We'll build a city   with a tower for the world   and climb so we can reach   anything we may propose   anything at all   Build me up, Tear me down   like a skyscraper   Build me up, then tear down   These joining Walls   So they can't climb at all   I know why you tore it down that day   You thought, that if you got caught   we'd all go away   Like a spoiled little baby   who can't come out and play   You had your revenge   Build me up, tear me down   like a skyscraper   Build me up, then tear down   these joining walls   So they can't climb at all   Well madness reigned,   and paradise drowned,   when Babel's walls   came crashing down   and the echo was war   the story lived that was highly understood,   and never any good.   Build me up....
