Are you backed into a corner'
What will you do'
Yeah, been pushed around, all black and blue,
You never said a word or made a stand,
Here we go, again and again.

The party's over, it's late,
When the world can't tell, they think you're great,
For a while it'll be fine, then it won't take long and you'll go blind,
You'll never see it coming,
Ooh, no,
Never see it coming,
Hit right between the eyes.

Tear down the walls, just break though it all,
Tear down the walls, ooh, tear 'em down,
Don't let them build again.

If you're like me, it's hard the first time,
Will I sound like a record, another line'
I know it can tie you in knots,
Give it to God, then give it all you got,
You can't control it, ooh, n-n-no,
You can't control it, so don't even try.

Tear down the walls, just break though it all,
Tear down the walls, ooh, tear 'em down,
Don't let them build again.

You think you're nimble, or pretty quick,
It'll get hot on that candlestick,
We gotta reach out when the chips are down,
We gotta speak up, and tell it like it is.

Tear down the walls, ooh, just break though it all,
Tear down the walls, oh, tear 'em down,
Don't let 'em build again,
Tear down the walls,
You can do it, break though it, break through,
Tear down the walls,
Tear 'em down, don't let them build again,
Tear down the walls.
