House Made Of Sticks

Oh Oh, It ain’t easy when the wolves knocking at your door
Oh Oh, It’s wearing us thin and he’s always coming back for me
Nippin at our feet here
Take another chunk there and it can’t hold
We can build something better than this
No more living in a house made of sticks
They can huff, puff
Try all they want
But they won’t bring us down
Oh Oh, the lines are down and our faith is busting at the seems
Oh Oh if the storm hits town, we’ll be drifting down the river deep
We dig a little bit here
We dig a little bit there and it won’t hold
We can build something better than this
No more living in a house made of sticks
They can huff, puff
Try all they want
But they won’t bring us down
They say that if the levee breaks
Then the water swallows everything
There ain’t no thinking clearly when
When you’re swimming in the deep end
Lets not take another chance of being carried away
You plant a little seed
It takes a little time
Get up off our knees
We can grow with it
We can build something better than this
No more living in a house made of sticks
They can huff, puff
Try all they want
But they won’t bring us down
