D-DU-UDU
come let us make bricks
and burn them hard,
we'll build a city with a tower for the world
and climb so we can reach
anything we may propose,
anything at all
build me up, tear me down
like a skyscraper,
build me up, and tear down
these joining walls
so they can't climb at all
so they can't climb at all
yeah, I know why you tore it down that day,
you thought, that if you got caught
we'd all go away,
like a spoiled little baby
who can't come out and play,
you had your revenge
build me up, tear me down
like a skyscraper,
build me up, and tear down
these joining walls
so they can't climb at all
so they can't climb at all
(instrumental)(It's just the chords for the verse then the chorus...)
well madness reigned
and paradise drowned
when Babel's walls came a-crashing down
now the echoes roar
a story writ
that was hardly understood
and never any good
so, build me up, tear me down
like a skyscraper,
build me up, and tear down
these joining walls
so they can't climb at all
so they can't climb at all
Thanks for reading y'all! Correct me if you reckon I'm wrong anywhere... x
