Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Built by the people
With the restless muses
Built by the people
With the restless muses
[Verse 2]
Feel
Feel the silence
As the match is struck
Hear
Hear the cheering
As they blast the lock
[Verse 3]
Feel
Feel the floor shake
As they climb up your steps
It's yours
Your own private earthquake
What would mother have said?
[Verse 4]
Built by the people
With the restless muses
Built by the people
With the restless muses
[Verse 5]
Watch
Watch the door knob
Turning to the right
See
See the faces
As your door is opened wide
[Verse 6]
Feel
Feel the chasm
As you look into their eyes
Dirty shoes
On your fine floors
You know mother wouldn't like that
[Verse 7]
Built by the people
With the restless muses
Built by the people
With the restless muses
Built by the people
[Verse 8]
Squeaky wheel
Get the grease
Gonna squeak
Loud
Loud
Squeaky wheel
Get the grease
Gonna squeak
Loud
