Don't Tear It Down Songtext / Lyric

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
