Knock It Down

On a rainy afternoon
There's a toddler at my feet
Who's offended I don't cheer
At the sight I have to greet
'Cause he only builds it up to knock it down
Yeah, he only builds it up to knock it down
On another afternoon
Down in dismal Downing Street
Theres a man who's getting soaked
'Cause it's coming down in sheets
'Cause they only built him up to knock him down
Yeah, they only built him up knock him down
Don't take it personally
It's only natural
And unconfined to these shores
Aiding and abetting
Healthy bloodletting
Makes fun for you and yours
On a gentrified old road
There's a church that's had its day
People don't go anymore
And it's standing in the way
Did we only build it up to knock it down?
Don't take it personally
It's only natural
And unconfined to these shores
Aiding and abetting
Healthy bloodletting
Makes fun for you and yours
On a rainy afternoon
There's a toddler at my feet
Who's offended I don't cheer
At the sight I have to greet
'Cause he only builds it up to knock it down
Yeah, he only builds it up to knock it down
