lyrics
buildings and bridges
are made to bend in the wind
to withstand the world
that’s what it takes
all that steel and stone
are no match for the air my friend
what doesn’t bend breaks
we are made to bleed
and scab and heal and bleed again
and turn every scar
into a joke
we are made to fight
and fuck and talk and fight again
and sit around and laugh
until we choke
i don’t know who you were expecting
probably some bitch
who does not budge
with eyes the size of snow
i may get pissed off sometimes
but you seem like the type
to hold a grudge
and in the end i just let it go
buildings and bridges
are made to bend in the wind
to withstand the world
that’s what it takes
all that steel and stone
are no match for the air my friend
what doesn’t bend breaks
are made to bend in the wind
to withstand the world
that’s what it takes
all that steel and stone
are no match for the air my friend
what doesn’t bend breaks
we are made to bleed
and scab and heal and bleed again
and turn every scar
into a joke
we are made to fight
and fuck and talk and fight again
and sit around and laugh
until we choke
i don’t know who you were expecting
probably some bitch
who does not budge
with eyes the size of snow
i may get pissed off sometimes
but you seem like the type
to hold a grudge
and in the end i just let it go
buildings and bridges
are made to bend in the wind
to withstand the world
that’s what it takes
all that steel and stone
are no match for the air my friend
what doesn’t bend breaks
