Tearing Everyone Down Lyrics
I thought I'd begun to see a change
But the more things change, the more they stay the same
Back stabbing and name calling, the trade marks of your act
You talk and talk of unity, but divide with your attacks
(You say), "I'd like to see a change,
I'd like to see a change,
I'd like to see a change, but I'm too busy...
Tearing everyone down..."
All us kids, we try to make a change
Some kids start a band, others start a zine
YOU, no matter what your path
You throw a curve in what could be achieved,
Then give up and move onto some other thing
(You say), "I'd like to see a change,
I'd like to see a change,
I'd like to see a change, but I'm too busy...
Tearing everyone down..."
Take a break
from your fights,
try to open up your mind tonight
When you feel
that's complete
then we can tackle this society!
You may not like
everything in life I do...
But that doesn't mean,
I'm not trying to change
the same problems as you
(You say), "I'd like to see a change,
I'd like to see a change,
I'd like to see a change, but I'm too busy...
Tearing everyone down..."
one of the best anti-flag song ever
I love this song.
Sane did it again. he is the best. im telling u!!!!!!!!!!
ok I have a story...
I have this little friend from Brazil that has a band called Ya Basta! and he sent me some mp3s of his band's songs. He told me he did a cover of this song "tearing everyone down" by anti-flag. I listened to his cover and thought "DANG!! that has to be one of the best punk songs I have heard in a long time. And his accent sounds so good. He really speaks great english!
Well I had never heard the original. So I downloaded the original. To my suprise it was the exact same file he sent me!!!
the little bastardo downloaded it off the internet, renamed the file, and sent it to me as his own!!
I feel stupid...
damn! never the less this song kicks major ass! I'd don't blame him for trying to pass it off as his own.
This song is great, its about stuff.
But hey, if it's not about stuff...then what could it be about? idiot
this is most definitely one of the best a-f songs ive ever heard and ive heard them all.
I love the "take a break from your fights" part. Everyone should stop all their arguing and bickering and just open their eyes and mind see the bigger picture. Anti-Flag rocks.
saw them in concert. Awsome band big fan!!
they are yelling at the conservatives because they wont conform to their views. if they want change, they have to be willing to compromise.
