Track 04 off of 99 Songs of Revolution, Volume I. Streetlight Manifesto's cover of Skyscraper by Bad Religion.

Lyrics:

Come let us make bricks

And burn them hard,

We'll build a city with a tower for the world

And climb so we can reach

Anything we may propose,

Anything at all

Build me up, tear me down

Like a skyscraper,

Build me up, and tear down

These joining walls

So they can't climb at all

I know why you tore it down that day,

You thought, that if you got caught

We'd all go away,

Like a spoiled little baby

Who can't come out and play,

You had your revenge

Build me up, tear me down

Like a skyscraper,

Build me up, and tear down

These joining walls

So they can't climb at all

Well madness reigned

And paradise drowned

When Babel's walls came crashing down

Now the echoes roar

A story writ

That was hardly understood

And never any good

Build me up, tear me down

Like a skyscraper,

Build me up, and tear down

These joining walls

So they can't climb at all

Wait did that guy down there say streetlight is keyboard heavythis is their only song to my knowledge with anything of the sort. in fact this is one of only a couple of their songs that resembles ska. most of the time they play basically punk with horns. not ska.

Does that mean I don't have to feel bad about preferring this cover simply because I like the feel of it compared to the original? I almost feel bad that I went to listen to the original song and didn't like it too much.

I would disagree. Although Streetlight were an amazing band, I'm not overly fond of keyboard-heavy ska. Not their finest hour IMO.

Seriously, just go attack everyone because you have a different taste in music? I pity the dipshits like you.

Ska Music: Combing rock and punk with Latin, reggae, and jazz music. If you had a brain you would know that.

Yes, thank you. Hopefully everyone will realize that eventually and shut up.

Are you kidding? Birds Flying Away is amazing, Hell is great, Linoleum is incredible. Can't seem to get into any of the other songs, though, including Such Great Heights...

This and Such Great Heights are the only covers worth listening to on this album.
