Took the long way to the shortcut, and the walls were made of stone

Took the low road to the highground, had to feel it in my bones

Everybody wants some heaven, but nobody wants to die

It's been brought to my attention

You'll be dead a long time, now ain't that a crime



Chorus:

Kick down the walls, shake down the building, help me bust out of this cage

Kick down the walls, shake down the building, must be time for a change



I went driving in the moonlight, there was no place left to go

I went digging in my coalmine, when I hit the motherload

If this world could work together, like a big old human clock

It would run on till forever, it would never have to stop, never have to stop



chorus



(Instrumental break)



You can't buy no protection, don't care who you are

Spreading out in all directions, now it's no hold barred

Everybody runs for cover, from the sun and sex and sin

If you think you got the answers, buddy just you come on in, step right in



chorus repeats 2x



Kick down the walls, shake down the building

Kick down the walls, shake down the building

Kick down the walls, shake down the building

Kick down the walls, shake down the building
