Tearing Everyone Down

I thought I'd begun to see a change
But the more things change
The more they stay the sameBack stabbing and name calling
The trade marks of your act
You talk and talk of unity
But divide with your attacksI'd like to see a change, I'd like to see a change
I'd like to see a change, but I'm too busy
Tearing everyone down, tearing everyone down, stopAnd all us kids, we try to make a change
Some kids start a band, others start a zine
You, no matter what your path
You throw a curve in what could be achieved
Then give up and move onto some other thingI'd like to see a change, I'd like to see a change
I'd like to see a change, but I'm too busy
Tearing everyone down, tearing everyone downTake a break from your fights
Try to open up your mind tonight
When you feel that's complete
We can tackle this societyYou may not like everything in life I do
But that doesn't mean, I'm not trying to change
The same problems as youI'd like to see a change, I'd like to see a change
I'd like to see a change, but I'm too busy, come on
Tearing everyone down, tearing everyone downTearing everyone down, down, down, down, down, down
Tearing everyone down, down, down, down, down, down
Tearing everyone down
