Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
I know why you tore it down that day
You thought that if you got caught, we'd all go away
Like a spoiled little baby who can't come out and play
You had your revenge
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
Well, madness reigned and paradise drowned
When Babel's walls came crashing down
Now the echoes roar, for story read that was hardly understood
And never any good
[Chorus]
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
(Build me up)
(Build me up)
