Listen
|
I was born on the other side
|
Just always looking to you
|
I made it over the great divide
|
Now I'm coming for you
|
|
Your forces lined up in battle
|
Your soldiers and your machines
|
The sun been blacked out by shadows
|
The darkest hour now you've ever seen
|
|
And I'm easy and I'm serious
|
They try and tear me down
|
You want me baby I dare you
|
Try and tear me down
|
|
I rose up on the doctor's slab
|
Like Lazarus from the pit
|
And everyone wants to take a stab
|
Decorate me with blood, graffiti and spit
|
|
I've been held up on money
|
I've been beaten out of spite
|
You want a piece of me honey?
|
Lose or win
|
|
You know you've been in a fight
|
And I'm easy and I'm serious
|
They try and tear me down
|
You want me baby I dare you
|
Try and tear me down
|
|
On March 6th, 1836 the walls of the Alamo fell
|
to the Mexican army. After a 12-day siege, the
|
troops of Santa Ana were victorious but too
|
exhausted to hold on and the Texans won the
|
war. It's further from El Paso to Texarkana,
|
then from New York to Chicago. And when it
|
joined the Union, Texas was the biggest state.
|
Yeah, everything from Texas is big, larger than
|
life and none bigger than little Marvin Aday. So
|
big his daddy called him Meat Loaf. He grew
|
into a big man, with a big voice. And he sings
|
big songs and has big hits. You can try and
|
tear him down.
|
|
Now there ain't much difference
|
Between a bridge and a wall
|
Without me right in the middle baby
|
You'll be nothing at all
|
|
And I'm easy and I'm serious
|
They try and tear me down
|
You want me baby I dare you
|
Try and tear me down
|
|
And I'm easy and I'm serious
|
They try and tear me down
|
You want me baby I dare you
|
Try and tear me down
|
|
Try and tear me down
|
