[Verse 1]
Stonemasons
Are becoming things of the past
And the modern age
Is finally taking us over at last
Don't you wonder why?
They're tearing all the old houses down
Can't they see?
That they're the best places around
[Verse 2]
Don't tear it down,
There's life in it yet
Don't tear it down
[Verse 3]
Don't you know that history
Is written there deep in the walls
But the march shows progress
Just wants to pour concrete over us all
Craftsmanship
The stone was cut by hand
Bulldozers
Are taking over the land
[Verse 4]
Don't tear it down, there's life in it yet
Don't tear it down, there's time for us yet
Don't tear it down
[Verse 5]
An expressway
Is planning to come thru our lounge
Eviction notes, in business coats
Never renovate, they just tear it down
A nations heritage
They want to bring down without a sound
Another new town
On top of the real town
[Verse 6]
Don't tear it down, there's life in it yet
Don't tear it down, there's time for us yet
Don't tear it down, there's life in it yet
Don't tear it down
