It Takes Time To Build Lyrics - Beastie Boys

If you don't like the news then press eject 

Bette Davis getting older, can't take a rain check 

It's time to let 'em know what we expect 

Stop building SUVs strung out on OPEC 

Hold up, wait up you know we come correct 

You wanna change things up, well, hey then get set 

It's easier to sit back than stick out your neck 

It's easier to break it than build it correct 

We've got a president we didn't elect 

The Kyoto treaty he decided to neglect 

And still the US just wants to flex 

Keep doin' that bop we gonna break our necks 

(It takes a second to wreck it) it takes time to build 

(It takes a second to wreck it) it takes time to build 

(You gots to chill, to chill, to chill, to chill, to chill) 

Ey yo, hate-filled people wanna keep us in check 

Tearin' down each other is what they expect 

If you want love, well hey that's a bet 

We've got to give before we can get 

Waiting like a batter who is on deck 

When it's time to wreck shop then shop I'll wreck 

So let's calibrate and check our specs 

We need a little shift on over towards the left 

I don't really know but I suspect 

I think it's due time that we inspect 

How they get their information and their facts are checked 

Another press conference someone's talking out their neck 

(It takes a second to wreck it) it takes time to build 

(It takes a second to wreck it) it takes time to build 

(You gots to chill, to chill, to chill, to chill, to chill) 

So step up to the window and place your bets 

Is the US gonna keep breaking necks? 

Maybe it's time that we impeach Tex 

And the military muscle that he wants to flex 

By the time Bush is done what will be left? 

Selling votes like E-pills up in the discotheque 

Environmental destruction and the national dept 

But plenty of dollars left in the fat war chest 

What the real deal why you can't connect 

Why you hating people that you never met 

Didn't your mama teach you to show some respect? 

Why not open your mind for a sec? 

(It takes a second to wreck it) it takes time to build 

(It takes a second to wreck it) it takes time to build 

(You gots to chill, to chill, to chill, to chill, to chill)
