Come let us make bricks
And burn them hard
We\'ll build a city with a tower for the world
And climb so we can reach
Anything we may propose
Anything at all
Build me up, tear me down
Like a skyscraper
Build me up, then tear down these joining walls
So they can\'t climb at all
So they can\'t climb at all
I know why you tore it down that day
You thought, that if you got caught
We all go away
Like a spoiled little baby
Who can\'t come out and play
You had your revenge
Build me up, tear me down
Like a skyscraper
Build me up, then tear down these joining walls
So they can\'t climb at all
So they can\'t climb at all
Well madness reigned
And paradise drowned
When babel\'s walls came on crashing down
Now the echoes roar
For the story lived
That was hardly understood
And never any good
So build me up, tear me down
Like a skyscraper
Build me up, then tear down these joining walls
So they can\'t climb at all
So they can\'t climb at all
