Take a look around you
What is old? What is new?
Down the road. Across the world
Nothing seems to be set in stone
What concerns you, concerns me
As Newton said under the tree
"What goes up, must come down"
And I can't stand by and watch you destroy
And I can't stand by and watch you destroy it all
How long has it been here? Built to last. Will it last?
How long has it been here? Built to last. Answers never come from the past
You will see that this won't stand forever, last forever, it's just a matter of time
But, we can do better, must do better because somebody once cared to build sculptures
Raise the bridges and we still dream
We think we live and learn, but we're not living, not learning
Progression means destruction: destroy what's in the way
How long has it been here? Built to last. Will it last?
How long has it been here? Built to last. Answers never come from the past
You will see that this won't stand forever, last forever, it's just a matter of time
But, we can do better, must do better because somebody once cared to build sculptures
Raise the bridges and we still dream
Since the beginning of time the human race has been the same
Self-centred, short sighted, don't think about the end game
We're not living, not learning
Like a disease with no cure things will just get worse, it's time for us to change
We're not living, not learning
Here they come
They destroy our history, our artistry, security, everything
