Took the long way to the shortcut   And the walls were made of stone   Took the low road to the highground   Had to feel it in my bones   Everybody wants some heaven   But nobody wants to die   It's been brought to my attention   You'll be dead a long time   Now ain't that a crime      Kick down the walls   Shake down the building   Help me bust out of this cage   Kick down the walls   Shake down the building   Must be time for a change      I went driving in the moonlight   There was no place left to go   I went digging in my coalmine   When I hit the motherload   If this world could work together   Like a big old human clock   It would run on till forever   It would never have to stop, never have to stop      Kick down the walls   Shake down the building   Help me bust out of this cage   Kick down the walls   Shake down the building   Must be time for a change      [Instrumental break]      You can't buy no protection   Don't care who you are   Spreading out in all directions   Now it's no hold barred   Everybody runs for cover   From the sun and sex and sin   If you think you got the answers   Buddy just you come on in   Step right in      Kick down the walls   Shake down the building   Help me bust out of this cage   Kick down the walls   Shake down the building   Must be time for a change   [repeats 2x]      Kick down the walls   Shake down the building   Kick down the walls   Shake down the building   Kick down the walls   Shake down the building   Kick down the walls   Shake down the building
