Took the long way to the shortcut
  And the walls were made of stone
  Took the low road to the highground
  Had to feel it in my bones
  Everybody wants some heaven
  But nobody wants to die
  It's been brought to my attention
  You'll be dead a long time
  Now ain't that a crime
    Kick down the walls
  Shake down the building
  Help me bust out of this cage
  Kick down the walls
  Shake down the building
  Must be time for a change
    I went driving in the moonlight
  There was no place left to go
  I went digging in my coalmine
  When I hit the motherload
  If this world could work together
  Like a big old human clock
  It would run on till forever
  It would never have to stop, never have to stop
    Kick down the walls
  Shake down the building
  Help me bust out of this cage
  Kick down the walls
  Shake down the building
  Must be time for a change
    [Instrumental break]
    You can't buy no protection
  Don't care who you are
  Spreading out in all directions
  Now it's no hold barred
  Everybody runs for cover
  From the sun and sex and sin
  If you think you got the answers
  Buddy just you come on in
  Step right in
    Kick down the walls
  Shake down the building
  Help me bust out of this cage
  Kick down the walls
  Shake down the building
  Must be time for a change
  [repeats 2x]
    Kick down the walls
  Shake down the building
  Kick down the walls
  Shake down the building
  Kick down the walls
  Shake down the building
  Kick down the walls
  Shake down the building
