They Tear Down Houses, Don't They? Lyrics

They tear down houses, don't they?

They're building tombs instead of homes

They come with bulldozers to build their condominiums

And they just rush down on, don't they?

The ones who jet to buy these things

The ones who still pay rent but somehow think they own something

And I know that money talks and I know response is great

But it still breaks my heart to see our old homes torn away.



Well, I know that cities grow and so do the housing needs

This doesn't smell like demand, it only reeks of greed

And I know that money talks and I know response is great

But it still breaks my heart to see our old homes torn away.

They tear down houses, don't they?

They're building tombs instead of homes

They come with bulldozers to build their condominiums.

And they just rush down on, don't they?

The ones who jet to buy these things

The ones who still pay rent but somehow think they own something.



They tear down houses, don't they?

They tear down houses, don't they?

They tear down houses, don't they?

They tear them down.

They tear them down.







They tear down houses, don't they?

They're building tombs instead of homes

They come with bulldozers to build their condominiums

And they just rush down on, don't they?

The ones who jet to buy these things

The ones who still pay rent but somehow think they own something.
