Jailbird from Themes & Dreams by Dom J. Crosato

It's been over forty years since we first walked on the moon
It's been twenty since they broke the Berlin wall
Oh it's only been a year since the day you broke my heart
and I barely felt a thing for that at all

Tear it down, down, down
Oh tear it down, down, down
I'm not an ass with a troubled past
but you treat me like a clown
so tear it down, tear it down, tear it down

Tell me about Watergate, tell me all about '58
Tell me all about the riots in the Spring
Tell me all about love and hate, give 'em to me on a silver plate
I changed my mind, don't tell me anything

Tear it down, down tear it down
Tear it down, down, down
I'm not just a man with an awful plan
But you treat me like a clown
So tear it down, tear it down, tear it down

The Jailbird wants to sing
but the Jailbird has got a broken wing

And the Jester has a crown of gold
But it's the foolish man that claims his throne

Cause it was me that saw the fire, I looked into it's eyes
It grabbed me by the hand and it took me by surprise
It told me it was waiting, I asked of its fixating
And it told me that the fire never lies

Burn it down, down, down
Burn it down, down to the ground
I'm not just the fool of a one eyed mule
But you treat me like a clown
So burn it down, burn it down, burn it down
