Bring It Down

Verse 1

Sixteen gears and a rusted chain

Smoke stacks coughing up the rain

They built this city on broken backs

Copper wire and almanacs

Pre-Chorus

I've been counting every rivet

Every bolt they made me twist

Now I'm holding something different

A spark inside my fist

Chorus

Bring it down

Let the concrete crack and tumble

Bring it down

Watch the circuits overload

Bring it down

Every pillar every column

Bring it down

We don't owe 'em what we're owed

Verse 2

My granddaddy ran the press line

Came home gray before his time

Daddy worked the midnight station

Died before his pensionation

Pre-Chorus

Same floor where I stand now

Different badge upon my chest

But I figured out the blueprint

And I know what happens next

Chorus

Bring it down

Let the concrete crack and tumble

Bring it down

Watch the circuits overload

Bring it down

Every pillar every column

Bring it down

We don't owe 'em what we're owed

Bridge

Hammers on the girders

Static in the wire

Some things you don't inherit

Some things you gotta fire

Breakdown

(Yeah)

One by one

One by one by one

Chorus

Bring it down

Let the concrete crack and tumble

Bring it down

Watch the circuits overload

Bring it down

Every pillar every column

Bring it down

We don't owe 'em what we're owed
