Everybody's played around
Everybody's been the fool
Chins are hanging on the ground
Take the time to Look around
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Look around!

Everybody's telling lies
Everybody's hypnotized
Don't you realize
I'm not a cat with nine lives

Don't say you will, when you won't
Don't say you do, when you don't
Don't build me up, then Tear me down
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Don't tear me down!

Everybody's played the clown
Everybody's lost and found
Hearts are bleeding all around
Sobbing in a wall of sound!

Don't say you will, when you won't
Don't say you do, when you don't
Don't build me up, then Tear me down
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Don't tear me down!
