"Tear You Down" lyrics

You've got white teeth (white teeth)
Clean suits (clean suits)
Straight ties
And crooked roots
You can never hide where you're coming from
You can never deny that the damage is done
You can polish a turd
And try to make things fit
But a pile of shit is still a pile of shit
When reality hits and we call your bluff
Then you better get ready
Cause it's gonna get rough

I'm gonna tear you down
(Tear you down)
I'm gonna crack your crown
(Crack your crown)
I'm gonna shake your ground
(Shake your ground)
Until you can't take any more!

You've got fake news (fake news)
False facts (false facts)
Fucking lies
And criminal pacts
You're as rotten as the history that you come from
You refuse to admit you're doing anything wrong
You stand your ground
And defend your fight
Even though you can't win you pretend you're right
No matter what you do
When all is said and done
The battle you're fighting
It can't be won

I'm gonna tear you down
(Tear you down)
I'm gonna crack your crown
(Crack your crown)
I'm gonna shake your ground
(Shake your ground)
Until you can't take any more!

The lights on but nobody's at home
You're a few bones short of a backbone
If you didn't exist
Neither would this song
If I agreed with you
Then wed both be wrong (wrong, wrong, wrong)

I'm gonna tear you down
(Tear you down)
I'm gonna crack your crown
(Crack your crown)
I'm gonna shake your ground
(Shake your ground)
Until you can't take any more
I'm gonna tear you down
(I'm gonna tear you down)
Until you can't take any more!
