Don't Tear It Down Songtext
von v.Spy v.Spy

Stone masons
Are becoming things of the past
And the modern age
Is finally taking us over at last
Don′t you wonder why
They're tearing all the old houses down
Can′t they see
That they're the best places around

Don't tear it down
There′s life in it yet
Don′t tear it down
Don't you know that history
Is written there deep in the walls
But the march of progress
Just wants to pour concrete over us all

Craftsmanship
The stone was cut by hand
Bulldozers
Are taking over the land


Don′t tear it down
There's life in it yet
Don′t tear it down
There's time for us yet
Don′t tear it down

An expressway
Was planned to come through our lounge
Eviction notice, business coach
Never renovate, they just tear it down
A nation's heritage
They wanna bring down without a sound
Another new town
On top of the real town

Don't tear it down
There′s life in it yet
Don′t tear it down
There's time for us yet
Don′t tear it down
There's life in it yet
Don′t tear it down
