Michael McFarland - We Are The Architects

Lincoln logs, lego blocks, cardboard tubes, rewind the clocks
Skyscrapers reaching to the heavens
Tinker toys, erector sets, stacks of boxes we'd collect
All were abandoned by eleven

And the blueprints keep getting harder to find
And the visions retreat to the back of our minds

Not lacking purpose, we're just lacking direction
We scratched the surface, we don't need your protection
There's nobody coming to our defense
Oh-oh-oh-oh, we are the architects

Payments for a house and cars, build the cage and gild the bars
But we still dream of reaching skyward
Marathon or cigarette. second child or seventh pet
The dream is just to be inspired

And the blueprints are hidden under our beds
And the visions we seek still live our heads

We can still build skyscrapers
We can still be lion tamers
We don't have to keep taking
Bricks from our foundation
So that it won't blow away
