There is hope for God's creation
Burned and scarred by man's deprivation
We're rippin' it up, oh oh 
Tearing it down

How did we come to have world starvation
When he provided for every nation
We're rippin' it up
Tearing it down

Why are we rippin' it up?
Why are we rippin' it up?
Why are we rippin' it up?
Why are we tearing it down?

Stop and think of what we're doing
And cry a chain before we're ruined
Stop rippin' it up
Tearing it down

We know that our Mayan God is the one solution
Just stop thinking and to end pollution
Stop rippin' it up
Tearing it down

Why are we rippin' it up?
Why are we rippin' it up?
Why are we rippin' it up?
Why are we tearing it down?

Why are we rippin' it up?
Why are we rippin' it up?
Why are we rippin' it up?
Why are we tearing it down?

Listen to your heart
Listen to the sound
Within the rhythm his voice is found
One, one by one
We all must turn 
Stop speaking, he's speaking to your heart
Our hearts together beat as a rhythm 
A quality of a god made system 
And what we burned and scarred he can heal it
Listen to your heart

Stop and think of what we're doing
It's up to me and it's up to you and
The rippin' it up
Tearing it down

Why are we rippin' it up?
Why are we rippin' it up?
Why are we rippin' it up?
Why are we tearing it down?

Why are we rippin' it up? (Oh oh)
Why are we rippin' it up? (Oh oh)
Why are we rippin' it up? (Oh oh)
Why are we tearing it down?

What you gonna do when it all comes down?
Everybody's turn to look around
Sound of freedom burning down, burning down

Why are we rippin' it up? (Oh oh)
Why are we rippin' it up? (Oh oh)
Why are we rippin' it up? (Oh oh)
Why are we tearing it down?

Why are we rippin' it up? (Oh oh)
Why are we rippin' it up? (Oh oh)
Why are we rippin' it up? (Oh oh)
Why are we tearing it down?

Why are we rippin' it up? (Oh oh)
Why are we rippin' it up? (Rippin' it up) (oh oh)
Why are we rippin' it up? (Rippin' it up)
Why are we tearing it down?
