Colin Blunstone - Tearing the Good Things Down lyrics
[Colin Blunstone - Tearing the Good Things Down lyrics]
I won't be broken by the
Pounding of this world machine
I've got to follow through
On a lifetime's dream
I'm choking from the tightening of
This endless red tape
But I'm prepared to wait
Till the day it breaks
You might slow me down a little
But it's only ever going to mean
That it takes a little longer
To realise the dream
And this vision just gets
Stronger through adversity
But nothing on this earth will ever stop me
But we're still tearing the good things down
Still throwing it all away
I used to love this town
Not anymore, not today
We are sending the good guys out
We should be making the bad ones pay
When money's the only sound
Anyone hears today
I lost my woman to a sinner with a bigger car
You know he talked real clever
"Say you don't have to stay where you are"
That's when I knew I'd lost before
I'd even started to fight
But I believe in waiting till
She comes home at night
But we're still tearing the good things down
Still throwing it all away
I used to love this town
Not anymore, not today
When we are sending the good guys out
Why aren't we making the bad ones pay
When money's the only sound
Anyone's hearing today
And I know I didn't always think about you
I was busy taking on the world you said
If I'd only taken time out
To be there for you i wonder how a different
Ending might have read
Pounding of this world machine
I've got to follow through
On a lifetime's dream
I'm choking from the tightening of
This endless red tape
But I'm prepared to wait
Till the day it breaks
You might slow me down a little
But it's only ever going to mean
That it takes a little longer
To realise the dream
And this vision just gets
Stronger through adversity
But nothing on this earth will ever stop me
But we're still tearing the good things down
Still throwing it all away
I used to love this town
Not anymore, not today
We are sending the good guys out
We should be making the bad ones pay
When money's the only sound
Anyone hears today
I lost my woman to a sinner with a bigger car
You know he talked real clever
"Say you don't have to stay where you are"
That's when I knew I'd lost before
I'd even started to fight
But I believe in waiting till
She comes home at night
But we're still tearing the good things down
Still throwing it all away
I used to love this town
Not anymore, not today
When we are sending the good guys out
Why aren't we making the bad ones pay
When money's the only sound
Anyone's hearing today
And I know I didn't always think about you
I was busy taking on the world you said
If I'd only taken time out
To be there for you i wonder how a different
