[Beastie Boys, Mix Master Mike - It Takes Time to Build lyrics]
If you don't like the news then press eject
Baby Davis, getting older
Can't take a rain check
It's time to let 'em know what we expect
Stop building SUV's, strung out on OPEC
Hold up, wait up, you know, we come correct
You wanna change things up, well
Hey then get set
It's easier to sit back than
Stick out your neck
It's easier to break things
Than build it correct
We've got a president we didn't elect
The Kyoto treaty he decided to neglect
And still the US just wants to flex
Keep doin' that, what
We gonna break our necks
It takes a second to wreck it
It takes time to build
It takes a second to wreck it
It takes time to build you gots to chill
Ah, yo
Hate-filled people wanna keep us in check
Tearin' down each other is what they expect
If you want love, well, hey that's a bet
We've got to give before we can get
Waiting like a batter who is on deck
When it's time to wreck shop
Then shop I'll wreck
So let's calibrate and check our specs
We need a little shift on
Over towards the left
I don't really know but I suspect
I think it's due time that we inspect
How they get their information and
Their facts are checked?
Another press conference someone's talking
Out their neck
It takes a second to wreck it
It takes time to build
It takes a second to wreck it
It takes time to build you gots to chill
So step up to the window and place your bets
Is the US gonna keep breaking necks
Maybe it's time that we impeach Tex
And the military muscle that he wants to flex
By the time Bush is done what will be left
Selling votes like E-pills at the discotheque
Environmental destruction and the
National debt but plenty of dollars left in
The fat war chest
What the real deal, why you can't connect?
Why you hating people that you never met?
Didn't your mama teach you
To show some respect?
Why not open your mind for a sec?
It takes a second to wreck it
It takes time to build
It takes a second to wreck it
It takes time to build you gots to chill
It takes it takes
It takes it takes
It takes it takes
The idea is to keep the green
Alien landing craft from taking
Your humans from the ground and
Changing them into mutants
A mutant is very dangerous to
You because he flies
Faster than you do and shoots at you
Baby Davis, getting older
Can't take a rain check
It's time to let 'em know what we expect
Stop building SUV's, strung out on OPEC
Hold up, wait up, you know, we come correct
You wanna change things up, well
Hey then get set

And still the US just wants to flex
Keep doin' that, what

It takes a second to wreck it
It takes time to build
It takes a second to wreck it
It takes time to build you gots to chill
