I was talking 'bout the s tate of the union
How there's no one now in p ower thinking of me
I was saying how we o ught to try to fix it
Find a leader who is not afraid to be
Then a v oice came out of the darkness
S aying 'Tear the system down'
Tear it down
I was thinking 'bout how t hat was very crazy
And I tried to find a w ay to tell him so
But when I did I used a w ord that was quite nasty
How the policeman heard me n ow I'll never know
Then a v oice came out of the darkness
S aying 'Tear the system down'
Tear it down - down to the ground

I was wrestled of to o ne side of the theatre
And they said I'd have to g o right to jail
They don't permit coarse l anguage in their city
But they did accept a l arge amount of bail
Then a v oice came out of the darkness
S aying 'Tear the system down'
Tear it down - down to the ground
