“Skyscraper” was released as the thirteenth track Bad Religion’s 1993 album, Recipe For Hate. It is guitarist and songwriter Brett Gurewitz’s take on the story of The Tower Of Babel.
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
Build me up, tear me down
Like a skyscraper
Build me up, then tear down
These joining walls
So they can't climb at all
[Verse 2]
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 to play
You had your revenge
[Chorus]
Build me up, tear me down
Like a skyscraper
Build me up, then tear down
These joining walls
So they can't climb at all
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Well madness reigned and paradise drowned
When Babel's walls came crashing down
Now the echoes roar for a story writ
That was hardly understood
And never any good
[Chorus]
Build me up, tear me down
Like a skyscraper
Build me up, then tear down
These joining walls
So they can't climb at all
[Outro]
Build me up
Build me up
