The rich [bad word]  the poor man follows
They say jump, we're asking when
We're the fools who don't understand
It's time to make a stand

Just have a look back in time
It has been like this, always been like this
Before the damage is done

Tear down the walls, tell me what are we waiting for
Tear down the walls, it can't go on like this anymore
And I, I'm not the only one who can see what's going on
And I want you to know, stand up
We can't stay waiting

The man on the street, the working stiff, will they ever discover
They're just another brick in the [bad word] 
I think we're talking too much
It has been like this, always been like this
Before the damage is done

Tear down the walls, tell me what are we waiting for
Tear down the walls, it can't go on like this anymore
And I, I'm not the only one who can see what's going on
And I want you to know, and I'll be waiting

Tear down the walls, tell me what are we waiting for
Tear down the walls, it can't go on like this anymore
And I, I'm not the only one who can see what's going on
And I want you to know, and I'll be waiting
