paroles de chanson Tearing the Good Things Down - David Soul

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 realize the dream
Cause this vision just gets stronger through adversity
Nothing on this Earth will ever stop me
But we are tearing the good things down
Throwing them all away
I used to love this town
Not anymore, not today
We are sending the good guys out
Why aren't we making the bad ones pay?
When money's the only sound anyone hears today
I lost my woman to a singer with a big car
You know he talked real clever
Said 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 one night
But we are tearing the good things down
Throwing them all away
I used to love this town
Not anymore, not today
We are sending the good guys out
Why aren't we making the bad ones pay?
When money's the only sound anyone hears today
And I know I didn't always think about you
I was busy taking on the world you see
If I'd only taken time out to be there for you
I wonder how a different ending might have read
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
Why are we tearing the good things tearing them down?
