I am not the one
I will not be burned at both ends
Let's go start a war
Fighting for what we believe in
Brick by brick, we'll tear it down again
Dripped in sweat, we'll build it up again
I am not your needle or your thread
I won't follow you and end up dead

Running, we're going faster
Until we get what matters
Nothing will stop us till we
Forget the thing we're after
And I will not forget my home
It was something beautiful
Eyes locked dead straight on the road
Mind wired shut
I can't get at the thing we're after

Now, get out, scram!
Brick by brick, we'll tear it down
We will burn it to the ground
Hopeful, but it's suicide
But I still have the urge to try
Brick by brick, we'll tear it down again
Dripped in sweat, we'll build it up again
I am not your needle or your thread
I won't follow you and end up dead

Running, we're going faster
Until we get what matters
Nothing will stop us till we
Forget the thing we're after
And I will not forget my home
It was something beautiful
Eyes locked dead straight on the road
Mind wired shut
I can't get at the thing we're after

I will burn it down
I want to tear it down
Tear it to shreds
I'll rip it brick by brick
