Versuri Skrewdriver – Built Up, Knocked Down lyrics

The summer was coming, I was out in the fields
Well, then I heard a guitar playing, so loud and clear
I saw an old man, he sat by a tree
He said; „Come and listen to me son, now, come and listen to me”
He said; „Hey boy, what does life mean to you? Well, alright”
„Does it mean got out, get drunk, and drown your blues?”
He said; „If that’s what it means to you, well, alright”
He said; „Well, that’s a wasted life, and I got nothing more to say to you”

Quit my job and baby, I went out, and I bought my first guitar
Then I started to learn a thing, ‘stead of propping up some bar,
What happened?
Sent a tape, got our contract, made us all so glad
Then you started messing ‘round with us, now life’s just bad

Are you trying to mess us up now,
Trying to make us quit?
If that’s what you’re trying to do, well,
You ain’t achievin’ it

I said…
Built up, knocked down, knocked down to the ground!
Built up, knocked down, knocked down to the ground, yeah!
Built up, knocked down, knocked down to the ground!
Built up, knocked down, knocked down to the ground, yeah!
