lyrics:

Reaching for your gun, you had none, so you stabbed a wounded arm

And you drank the blood of a bleeding friend

And quit your lying face of trust and love you once offered traces of

Knowing well you were never meaning them

And you laughed and you danced and it let you feel fine for a while

Hanging out with the kids who you knew soon would fall out of style

And took your mark at dawn down a line of destruction you had drawn

Through a town you were never welcome in

And dug your fingers good in the cracks in the mortar, steel, and wood

As you drank your cup of sweet revenge

And you plotted and planned and you counted the days til they came

Hiding up in your tower, tuning out every fool who complained

It's so long looking down what you're on

If your speech is so lame and just goes on and on

If it makes you feel good, you can make them feel bad

It's an easy call

So when nothing remains you can stand there and claim

You've destroyed them all

Now all your love's a grave and every year disappears

I heard someone mark the season you went wasting in

So take your walk at dawn through the line of destruction you had drawn

Through to, rear your head to sink again

It's a long way to walk when you're wrong

If you're sneaking through town with your wrecking ball on

If it makes you feel good, you can make them feel bad

It's an easy call

So when nothing remains you can stand proud and claim

You've destroyed them all

It's so easy

Take a swing and watch them fall

You're a wrecking ball
