"Knock It Down" lyrics

On a rainy afternoon
There's a toddler at my feet
Who's offended I don't cheer
At the sight I have to greet

'Cos he only builds it up to knock it down
Yes, he only builds it up to knock it down

On another afternoon
Down in dismal Downing Street
There's a man who's getting soaked
'Cos it's coming down in sheets

'Cos they only built him up to knock him down
Yes, they only built him up to knock him down

Don't take it personally
It's only natural
And unconfined to these shores
Aiding and abetting
Healthy bloodletting
Makes fun for you and yours

On a gentrified old road
There's a church that's had its day
People don't go anymore
And it's standing in the way

Did we only build it up to knock it down?

Don't take it personally
It's only natural
And unconfined to these shores
Aiding and abetting
Healthy bloodletting
Makes fun for you and yours

On a rainy afternoon
There's a toddler at my feet
Who's offended I don't cheer
At the sight I have to greet

'Cos he only builds it up to knock it down
Yes, he only builds it up to knock it down
