Monument

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 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 wonderful sight
But it fell back down
And scattered all around
Anything passes
When you need glasses

My monument — It fell down
My monument — It fell down

Work all of my days for this kind of praise
It fell down
Work all of my days — it fell down
