"do you know this man?" they asked me
and i said "no, sir"
over and over again
and they wouldn't let me go
now i'm taking it all in
i'm sorting it all out
its all that i've been thinking
"nothing lost nothing found"
i want to turn it down
when i can't tune it out
i want to tear it down
'cause i can't tune it out
until all that's outside's coming in
and its all that
i've been seeing
none of this was here
all of this was clean
until all that's outside's coming in
i want to turn it down
when i can't tune it
out i want to tear it down
'cause i can't tune it out
until i see the bigger picture
we'll be shining examples
we'll embrace the fear this year
we'll acknowledge the history
and remember what it means
to be people with people
maybe build something that they can't
its how they can't take away
what they never gave us
what they never had
and you know what they'll say
as they're looking down
nothing lost
nothing found
its all that i've been dreaming
i want to turn it down
when i can't tune it out
i want to tear it down
'cause i can't tune it out
is this what i need?
holding on
to anything
is this what i need?
holding on
and i said "no, sir"
over and over again
and they wouldn't let me go
now i'm taking it all in
i'm sorting it all out
its all that i've been thinking
"nothing lost nothing found"
i want to turn it down
when i can't tune it out
i want to tear it down
