Lyrics
Tear It Down words & music: Vance Grazio 2020
Got no room in my heart for those who hate, those who hate
Nothing ever will change for those who wait, those who wait
Tear it apart from the inside.
oh ah wo ah oh, oh ah wo ah oh
Voices ring out, in the streets, in the streets,
Black brown and white, week after week, after week
Tear down walls, from the outside
oh ah wo ah oh, oh ah wo ah oh
Chorus:
The time is now, we march as one
This fight for justice, has begun
Through every town, from shore to shore
Until injustice breathes no moreoh oh wo
Leadership void, POTUS insane, quite insane
Gas on a fire, fanning the flames, fanning the flames,
Tear it all down, from the topside
oh ah wo ah oh, oh ah wo ah oh
Repeat chorus
Got no room in my heart for those who hate, those who hate
Nothing ever will change if we wait, if we wait
Love and hope grows from the insideout
oh ah wo ah oh, oh ah wo ah oh
oh ah wo ah oh, oh ah wo ah oh
oh ah wo ah oh, oh ah wo ah oh
oh ah wo ah oh, oh ah wo ah oh
