Tearing Everyone Down Lyrics

Artist: Anti-Flag
Album: A New Kind Of Army

I thought i'd begun, to see a change
But the more things change, the more they stay the same
Back stabbing and name calling, the trade marks of your act
You talk and talk of unity, but divide with your attacks

(You say), "I'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..."

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 thing

(You say), "I'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..."

Take a break
from your fights,
try to open up your mind tonight
When you feel
that's complete
then we can tackle this society!
You may not like
everything in life I do...
But that doesn't mean,
I'm not trying to change,
the same problems as you

(You say), "I'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..."

Easily one the most influential songs in a while. The meaning is so clear and perfect. I agree 100% with every word said.
