Knock Them Down

A first take. I was going to re-record this and do more with it but figured it was such a cynical negative song that it wouldn't appeal to a lot of folks anyway. This is just one that I had to get out of my craw, let breathe a little oxygen and then move on.

First they build them up and then they knock them down
Love to see them crawling now on the ground
Only human beings just like you and me
They make mistakes and then we see
Rumors and stories follow them around
Everyone's looking for dirt to be found
Nobody's perfect except for you and me
You take a fall and then I see
That they build them up and then they knock them down

Regrets and second thoughts
Happiness can't be bought
Success evaporates like rain on a summer afternoon

And all the people who are throwing stones
I bet that they live in all glass homes
Someone should investigate them too
And you know that it is true
That they build them up and then they knock them down
Be careful what you say on the way up
They'll turn on you so you better shut up
All those friends have a knife in your back
They'll eat you up just for a snack
First they build you up and then they knock you down
