Come let us make bricks
and burn them hard
We'll build a city
with a tower for the world
and climb so we can reach
anything we may propose
anything at all

Build me up, Tear me down
like a skyscraper
Build me up, then tear down
These joining Walls
So they can't climb at all

I know why you tore it down that day
You thought, if you got caught
we'd all go away
Like a spoiled little baby
who can't come out to play
You had your revenge

Build me up, tear me down
like a skyscraper
Build me up, then tear down
these joining walls
So they can't climb at all

Well madness reigned,
and paradise drowned,
when Babel's walls
came crashing down
and the echo roar
the story read that was hardly understood,
and never any good.
Build me up....
