Paroles de Don't Tear It Down

Stonemasons 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 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 Is planning to come thru our lounge Eviction notes, in business coats Never renovate, they just tear it down A nation's heritage They want to 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
