Reaching for your gun you had none so you stabbed a wounded arm
And you drank the blood of a bleeding friend
And quit your lying face of trust and love you once offered traces of
Knowing well you were never meaning them
And you laughed and you danced and it let you feel fine for a while
Hanging out with the kids who you knew soon would fall out of style
And took your mark at dawn down a line of destruction you had drawn
Through a town you were never welcome in
And dug your fingers good in the cracks of the mortar steel and wood
As you drank your cup of sweet revenge
And you plotted and planned and you counted the days til they came
Hiding up in your tower tuning out every fool who complained
Its so long looking down what youre on
If your speeches are lame and just go on and on
If it makes you feel good you can make them feel bad
Its an easy call
So when nothing remains you can stand there and claim
Youve destroyed them all
Now all your loves a grave and every year disappears
I heard someone mark the season you went wasting in
To take your walk at dawn through the line of destruction you had drawn
Through to rear your head and sink again
Its a long way to walk when your wrong
If you sneaking through town with your wrecking ball on
If it makes you feel good you can make them feel bad
Its an easy call
So when nothing remains you can stand proud and claim
Youve destroyed them all
Its so easy
Take a swing and watch them fall
Youre a wrecking ball
