I'm a cynic though I hate to admit it you forgive it and forget it it's done
But it blinds me and it binds me it confines me you remind me that it might be done
'Cause all these cold shoulders and all these hollow stares are enough to break the soul who cares
All these walls between us that we build for protection are blocking out the sun and dividing everyone

And I say
Hey now tear 'em down, down to the ground I said
Hey now tear 'em down
For the good of everyone

I for one don't like what we've become
So fathers tell you sons there's much work to be done
Let's stand as one you daughters and you moms
Decide that we are done with this wicked indifference

Hey now tear 'em down, down to the ground I said
Hey now tear 'em down
For the good of everyone

It's so simple to look away
It's another world and they don't think the same
But we should know better pain is pain
It effects us all the same
