lyrics

Build It Like A Rock

The more I see, well the less I believe – so the saying goes my friend,
And the older I get, you know the more I feel that my feelings show my friend,
And a bitter taste – leaves a cynical view,
Oh boy it’s gone and left its mark on you,
In a land of plenty – well there’s so much greed,
Oh it’s what money don’t buy that we really need…

(Chorus)
Well there’s too many walls, and not enough bridges,
We’re doing all the taking, they’re doing all the giving it out,
But this time, oh this time…
Can’t we build it like a rock?
Like a rock my friend,
And throw it through their windows yeah, yeah, yeah,
Oh make them stop my friend.

It’s late at night on hostile street- oh let’s get out of the heat my friend,
We’ll make a rush, for the late night bus, and put the world to rights my friend,
We’ll storm the palace, make parliament bleed,
Scrape the shit off my shoes from the garbage they feed,
Will they ever listen – oh will we ever learn,
Well what can a poor boy do as this world keeps turning…

(Chorus)
Well there’s too many walls, and not enough bridges,
We’re doing all the taking, they’re doing all the giving it out,
But this time, oh this time…
Can’t we build it like a rock?
Like a rock my friend,
And throw it through their windows yeah, yeah, yeah,
Oh make them stop my friend.

Well they fight for interests – while we fight for rights,
We’re drowned in disillusionment - we need to re-adjust our sights,
Let down on the left – ripped off on the right,
And we’re stuck in the middle- dealing with their lies,
Dealing with their lies, while they look us in the eyes my friends…

Build it like a rock,
Like a rock my friends oh yeah,
And throw it through the windows yeah, yeah, yeah,
Make them stop my friends,

Like a rock, like a rock my friends,
Like a rock, like a rock yeah, yeah,
And throw it through their windows yeah, windows yeah, yeah, yeah,
Oh make them stop my friends oh yeah…oh yeah…oh yeah.
