When the site was found We laid the foundations down It didn′t take long Before they came back tumbling down Don′t go at night You need a little light How else you gonna see What it′s gonna be like?
So we picked up our tools And we worked in the morning light With the last stone placed Wasn′t it a wonderful sight? But it fell back down And scattered all around Anything passes when you need glasses My monument it fell down
Work all of my days For this kind of praise It fell down
It′s Monday morning And I would kill for a chance to drive Get so far away from here with you my dear That I′ll never leave your side Nobody knows the troubles I′ve seen In a van, on a soapbox for the world to see
Miles away, and I wish this didn′t mean so much to me To be a monument for the rest of them Miles away, and I wish this didn′t mean so much to me To be a monument for the rest of them
We′re getting older I′ve started to fear for my life is this the way that it should be? this whole thing′s riding on me it′s been a long road so far with nowhere to turn There′s no looking back from here no more dwelling on my fears
Miles away, and I wish this didn′t mean so much to me To be a monument for the rest of them Miles away, and I wish this didn′t mean so much to me To be a monument for the rest of them
Twenty bucks says you′ll remember me When you see me on your TV screen It may be the first time But it won′t be the last time [x3]
And I′ll scream so loud that everyone in this place Will hear every word I say ′cause this is my time, this is my time to shine let nothing stand in our way [x2]
Twenty bucks says you′ll remember me When you see me on your TV screen It may be the first time But it won′t be the last time
