The Building (Instrumental)

歌詞

Hey now I can't take another day There's a feeling in the air and I can't find the words to say Chaos in the building where we stay We're living in a house that we can't wait to set in flames Burn it down Burn it down Burn it down Hey now, hey now, hey now And I've never seen my neighbours from the top floor But judging from the car they drive I know they're not poor And I could be mistaken because I'm not sure But I got this little hunch they're the ones calling the cops Four times last week saying I'm disturbing the peace 'Cos I was playing my music and they heard some loud screams So my neighbour the cop who was suspect of beating his wife had to tell me to stop And I wish I'd had the guts to tell him 'bout the noise from his apartment But that's buisness I don't get involved with So I look the other way, try to climb higher 'Cos if I reach the top I think I could escape the fire Burn it down Burn it down Burn it down Hey now, hey now, hey now I wonder what you're doing tonight I wonder if you're free, ey, ey, ey I think I hear my neighbours fighting through the thin walls So what am I to do with tonight How can I get free, ey, ey, ey I'm bouncing on the walls like I'm a human pinball Burn it down I sit by my window see this kid on the corner hustle The belt wrapped around his knuckles ready to swing his the buckle I'm thinking "Why are they fighting each other, they're in the same school" They probably live next to each other under the same roof I bet they're from my building, yeah, I bet that kid dad's The drunk I pass on my way up the stairs, real sad I'm sure they blame him for the tags in the hallway The robberies, not seeing, not seeing the reason he's outside all day Like they came from nowhere with their bad intensions They grew up in this place we made them who they are I can see they're so scared could use some attention This house can be a maze without a guiding star Burn it down Burn it down Burn it down Hey now, hey now, hey now I wonder what they're doing tonight I wonder if they're free, ey, ey, ey Burn it down So what am I to do with tonight, burn it down Hey now, hey now, hey now Burn it
