Meat Loaf - Tear Me Down Lyrics
ListenI was born on the other sideJust always looking to youI made it over the great divideNow I'm coming for youYour forces lined up in battleYour soldiers and your machinesThe sun has been blocked out by shadowsThe darkest hour now you've ever seenAnd I'm easy and I'm seriousThey try and tear me downYou want me baby I dare youTry and tear me downI rose up on the doctor's slabLike Lazarus from the pitAnd everyone wants to take a stabDecorate me with blood, graffiti and spitI've been held up on moneyI've been beaten out of spiteYou want a piece of me honey?Lose or winYou know you've been in a fightAnd I'm easy and I'm seriousThey try and tear me downYou want me baby I dare youTry and tear me downGirl (speaking):On March 6th, 1836 the walls of the Alamo fellto the Mexican army. After a 12 day siege, thetroops of Santa Ana were victorious but tooexhausted to hold on and the Texans won thewar. It's further from El Paso to Texarkana,then from New York to Chicago. And when itjoined the Union, Texas was the biggest state.Yeah, everything from Texas is big, larger thanlife and none bigger than little Marvin Aday. Sobig his daddy called him Meat Loaf. He grewinto a big man, with a big voice. And he singsbig songs and has big hits. You can try andtear him down.Meatloaf:Now there ain't much differenceBetween a bridge and a wallWithout me right in the middle babyYou'll be nothing at allAnd I'm easy and I'm seriousThey try and tear me downYou want me baby I dare youTry and tear me downAnd I'm easy and I'm seriousThey try and tear me downYou want me baby I dare youTry and tear me down
