Lyrics
Tear This Old House Down
written by Eve Selis, Marc Intravaia and Doug Crider
The floorboard creaks
Somebody threw a rock through the window
The roof leaks
We just sit around and listen to the wind blow
The door gets jammed
I'll be damned
If I'm gonna live like this
Brick by brick
I'm gonna tear this old house down
Stick by stick
I'm gonna burn it to the ground
To save my soul I gotta tear this old house down
The framework's shot
Strong wind sets the whole place to shakin'
Something's rotten
I believe that it's in the foundation
The paint is peelin'
I gotta feelin'
Something's gotta give
(Chorus)
Tear it down 2x
This is the end
It's time to condemn
Nail a sign to the door
