My, oh my, you don't listen to a word I say
Do you? Goodbye, goodbye, I've been saying it every day
open your eyes, this is your life
I try and try not to listen to what people say
Oh, but their eyes, their eyes, there's a way to say it anyway
lift your head 'cause I think it's high tide
And you're building your castles on sand
(It's gonna tumble down)
Building your castle on sand
(It's gonna wash away)
Building your castle on sand
It's gonna tumble down
It's gonna wash away
Dream your dreams, let them carry you like tidal streams
But we build our world on land
And you can't be building yours on sand
Oh, swallow your pride, can't you see I'm on your side
You're building your castle on sand
(It's gonna tumble down)
Building your castle on sand
(It's gonna wash away)
Building your castle on sand
It's gonna tumble down
It's gonna wash away
I don't want to build no sand castles
I don't want to build no sand castles
I don't want to build no sand castles
They're gonna tumble down
They're gonna wash away
Mapped in sand, that's the way we drew our battle plans
But we overarmed the guards they don't listen now to our commands
We'd better take matters into our own hands
'Cause we're building this castle on sand
(It's gonna tumble down)
Building this castle on sand
(It's gonna wash away)
Building this castle on sand
It's gonna tumble down
It's gonna wash away
It's gonna tumble down
It's gonna wash away
It's gonna tumble down
It's gonna wash away
It's gonna tumble down
It's gonna wash away
