When the site was found we laid the foundations down
It didn’t take long before they came back tumbling down
Don’t build 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
When the site was found,
We laid the foundation down.
It didn’t take long before
They came back tumbling down.
Don’t build at night.
You need a little light.
How else are you going to see
What it’s going to be like!
So we picked up our tools,
And we worked in the morning light.
With the last stone placed,
Wasn’t it a beautiful site?
But it fel back down,
And scattered all around.
Anything passes,
When you need glasses.
My monument – it fell down.
My monument – it fell down.
Work all my days for this kind of praise.
It fell down.
Work all my days – it fell down.
I got the message in my mailbox
Nobody goes to church no more
They’re closing down your little altar
They’ve locked the sanctuary door
Don’t fight it
Who can say that you didn’t try
Don’t fight it
Old soldiers never die
Where will i go to leave my offering
To think about how life’s so queer
And listen to the little choir
The sermon i don’t care to hear
Don’t fight it
Who can say that it’s not the end
Don’t fight it
And if we don’t meet again
I know somewhere a monument
Stands in the name of our love
Somewhere are monuments
Standing in the name of our love
I’ve seen such strange times
Seems like lifetimes
Sometimes good and sometimes bad
And i don’t see how it could
Have been much different
Everybody gave the best they had
