| Track 04 off of 99 Songs of Revolution, Volume I. Streetlight Manifesto's cover of Skyscraper by Bad Religion. Lyrics: 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, and 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, and 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 Now the echoes roar A story writ That was hardly understood And never any good Build me up, tear me down Like a skyscraper, Build me up, and tear down These joining walls So they can't climb at all |
