Tearing the Good Things Down

歌詞

I won't be broken by the pounding of this world machine I've got to follow through, on a lifetime's dream I'm choking from the tightening of this endless red tape But I'm prepared to wait, till the day it breaks You might slow me down a little, but it's only ever going to mean That it takes a little longer to realise the dream And this vision just gets stronger through adversity But nothing on this earth will ever stop me Chorus But we're still tearing the good things down Still throwing it all away I used to love this town Not anymore, not today We are sending the good guys out We should be making the bad ones pay When money's the only sound Anyone hears today I lost my woman to a sinner with a bigger car You know he talked real clever, "say you don't have to stay where you are" That's when I knew I'd lost before I'd even started to fight But I believe in waiting till she comes home at night Chorus When we are sending the good guys out Why aren't we making the bad ones pay When money's the only sound Anyone's hearing today And I know I didn't always think about you I was busy taking on the world you said If I'd only taken time out to be there for you I wonder how a different ending might have read
