Anti-Flag › Lyrics › Tearing Everyone Down

I thought I'd begun to see a change
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

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, oh, tearing everyone down, oh, down

All us kids, try to make a change
Some kids start a band, others start a zine
You, no matter what your path
If you're sure in what could be achieved
Then give up and move onto some other thing

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, oh, tearing everyone down, oh

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

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, oh, tearing everyone down, oh
Tearing everyone down, down, down, down, down, down
Tearing everyone down, down, down, down, down, down
Tearing everyone down
