It Takes Time To Build Lyrics

If you don't like the news then press eject 

 Baby Davis getting older can't take a rain check 

 It's time to let'em know what we expect 

 Stop building SUV's strung out on OPEC 

 Hold up wait up you know we come correct 

 You wanna change things up, well hey just get set 

 It's easier to sit back than stick out your neck 

 It's easier to break things than build it correct 

 We've got a president we didn't elect 

 The Kyoto treaty he decided to neglect 

 And still the US just wants to flex 

 Keep doin' that wop we gonna break our necks 

 

 It takes a second to wreck it 

 It takes time to build 

 You gots to chill 

 

 Hate filled people wanna keep us in check 

 Tearin' down each other is what they expect 

 If you want love well hey that's a bet 

 We've got to give before we can get 

 Waiting like a batter who is on deck 

 When it's time to wreck shop then shop I'll wreck 

 So let's calibrate and check our specs 

 We need a little shift on over towards the left 

 I don't really know but I suspect 

 I think it's due time that we inspect 

 How they get their information and their facts are checked 

 Another press conference someone's talking out their neck 

 

 It takes a second to wreck it 

 It takes time to build 

 You gots to chill 

 

 So step up to the window and place your bets 

 Is the US gonna keep breaking necks 

 Maybe it's time that we impeach Tex 

 And the military muscle that he wants to flex 

 By the time Bush is done what will be left 

 Selling votes like E-pills at the discotheque 

 Environmental destruction and the national dept 

 But plenty of dollars left in the fat war chest 

 What the real deal why you can't connect 

 Why you hating people that you never met 

 Didn't your mama teach you to show some respect? 

 Why not open your mind for a sec? 

 

 It takes a second to wreck it 

 It takes time to build 

 You gots to chill
