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
