Tear Me Down

Listen I was born on the other side Just always looking to you I made it over the great divide Now I'm coming for you Your forces lined up in battle Your soldiers and your machines The sun been blacked out by shadows The darkest hour now you've ever seen And I'm easy and I'm serious They try and tear me down You want me baby I dare you Try and tear me down I rose up on the doctor's slab Like Lazarus from the pit And everyone wants to take a stab Decorate me with blood, graffiti and spit I've been held up on money I've been beaten out of spite You want a piece of me honey? Lose or win You know you've been in a fight And I'm easy and I'm serious They try and tear me down You want me baby I dare you Try and tear me down Girl: On March 6th, 1836 the walls of the Alamo fell to the Mexican army. After a 12-day siege, the troops of Santa Ana were victorious but too exhausted to hold on and the Texans won the war. It's further from El Paso to Texarkana, then from New York to Chicago. And when it joined the Union, Texas was the biggest state. Yeah, everything from Texas is big, larger than life and none bigger than little Marvin Aday. So big his daddy called him Meat Loaf. He grew into a big man, with a big voice. And he sings big songs and has big hits. You can try and tear him down Now there ain't much difference Between a bridge and a wall Without me right in the middle baby You'll be nothing at all And I'm easy and I'm serious They try and tear me down You want me baby I dare you Try and tear me down
