Tearing It Down Lyrics

I am, taking a chance
Walking with my laces loose
Wrapped up, taking the maze
That everybody's running through
I'm sick of, black tie
Nickel and dime
We're going through the roof

I'm not a wise man
But I see the haze
And this is what I'm gonna do

Tearing it down
Tearing it down
Whoo, whoo

Tearing it down
Tearing it down
Whoo, whoo

There's a fine line
You walk everyday
'Cause somebody told you to
A white lie
You can't erase
Now you're gonna have to choose

You know a blind man
Won't show the way
But he can tell you
What it's coming to

Tearing it down
Tearing it down
Whoo, whoo
Tearing it down
Tearing it down
Whoo, whoo
Tearing it down

Ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
Ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni now
Ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
Ni ni ni now
Ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
Ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni now

I'm not a wise man
But I see the haze
And this is what I'm gonna do

Tearing it down
Tearing it down
Tearing it down
Whoo, whoo
Tearing it down
Tearing it down
Whoo, whoo
Tearing it down
Tearing it down
Whoo, whoo
Tearing it down
Tearing it down
Whoo, whoo
Tearing it down
Tearing it down
Whoo, whoo

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song seems to go hand in hand with "Fire On the Mountain"... there is a crisis at hand (whether social, political, whatever, I'm not sure), that we have to deal with, and tear down the existing order to fix ourselves.
