this song is awesome. some great musical ideas going on in this song. fantastic!!

Love the 70s new wave guitars. Lots of energy and great lyrics 👍

I really enjoyed your sardonic poke at religion.  I also liked the reminder that we're just animals, who will eventually meet the same fate as all living creatures, and eventually the same fate as the dinosaurs.

Thank you For listening to my songs. you were right, I completely dig this song! your wit is fantastic in this and i love your musical styling.

BUILDING IT UP, TEARING IT DOWN
CW MULLINS

At first all was darkness and then he created light
The world took all of seven days
Yeah that seems about right

Building it up, tearing it down

A poet gave Ozymandias eternal fame
Did Pharoah Ramses II even know that was his name?

Building it up, tearing it down

How a child cries
When a pet turtle dies
Sobs like they can’t be consoled
Don’t tell the kid lies
As the kid will realize
They’re a pet turtle too
Truth be told

Alexander bored at home got it in his head
To cross the world’s rivers
And make them all run red

Building it up, tearing it down

The city on the plain threw a party none could fault
You take home someone’s wife
Wake with a pillar of salt

Building it up, tearing it down

All the people
Gather 'neath a steeple
To praise someone that they’ve never met
A plate goes around
And the grown ups dig down for some coins
Like they’re placing a bet

Well maybe you’re a winner when your decades add to seven
If eternal sleep is anyone’s idea of heaven

Building it up, tearing it down

Yeah the dinosaurs rules Earth for a couple hundred million years
Will we have ruled that long
When our asteroid appears?

Building it up, tearing it down

Building It Up, Tearing It Down

BIO: I started writing songs in high school (1969-1973!) and I've pretty much never stopped. These are mostly solo recording projects (my brother, Fog City Fogey, contributes sometimes).  I don't do much self-promotion, not a fan of Repost Exchange etc, so all of you who find this page and like a song or two - you are truly appreciated!
