lyrics

This old house is coming down.
Light it up, burn it to the ground
No love within those walls it’s just a
domicile and a port of call.
It’s not a place that you'd call home,
static humming on the telephone.
Broken hearts and broke into.
We’re gonna…bring it down with the shaking and the boom-boom.

We’ve been long awaiting,
we’ve been long awaiting,
we’ve been long awaiting,
We’ll bring it down with the shakin' and the boom-boom

Now our daddy died years ago,
when the whiskey river overflowed
Dysfunction, atrophy
Good Lord, hot damn, you should’ve seen
He fooled the priest with a penitent smile
a sheepskin on a crocodile
a deadbeat thumping in every room
so we’ll bring it down with the shakin and the boom-boom

We’ve been long awaiting,
we’ve been long awaiting,
we’ve been long awaiting
We’ll bring it down with the shakin' and the boom-boom
We’ve been long awaiting,
we’ve been long awaiting,
we’ve been long awaiting
We’ll bring it down with the shakin' and the boom-boom


Run from the firelight
There’s ghosts in the firelight
Run from the firelight
Get clear and don’t look back
Cause that old foundation’s about to crack…we’re gonna…

Tear it down, it’ll set us free
Memories buried down underneath
It’s the dark before the dawn
And we’ve been waiting for too damn long

A lit match and some TNT
Douse the floor with gasoline
Flicked the match and lit the fuse
And we brought it down with the shaking and the boom-boom

We’ve been long awaiting,
we’ve been long awaiting,
we’ve been long awaiting
We brought it down with the shakin' and the boom-boom
We’ve been long awaiting,
we’ve been long...
we’ve been long awaiting
We brought it down with the shakin' and the….
Boom, boom, boom, boom
Boom, boom, boom, boom,
Boom, boom, boom, boom
We brought it down with the shaking and the boom-boom
Boom, boom, boom, boom
Boom, boom, boom, boom,
Boom, boom, boom, boom
Yeah we brought it down with the shakin & the boom-boom
