Demolition 

I used to take things apart to see how they work

and if i could put it all back like before

most times i could but it wasn’t the same

as before I had torn the thing down

i got a job working on houses

first I tried painting and replacing outlets

i did trim and sheetrock but it wasn’t my thing

and before long my talent was found

demolition

i rock a crowbar and a sledge and a triple ply bag

by the time i get home i’m tired and mad

and i can’t remember what started this fight

between us but it won’t seem to die

maybe if I could switch to the business side

there’d be some of me left for my family at night

but nobody’s offering me anything new

so i guess i’ll keep going for awhile

doing demolition

someday I’d like to be somebody who

figures out how things work and can make ‘em like new

but until something changes or something gives way

all that i’m good for at the end of the day

is demolition

so if you or your folks need a man for a job

that’s just destroying something and hauling it off

then i guess I'm your man cause that’s all I do

and you might as well own what you are

demolition
