They broke off the locks and they opened the doors<br />
Pushed out the windows and painted the floors<br />
Raised up the roof 'till it touched the sky<br />
Grew a little garden outside in the rust and sand<br />
Picked up the pieces that were left to die<br />
Brought this building back with a healing hand<br />
<br />
You're bound to move in on the double<br />
'Cause you leave your mark upon everything<br />
In your head those Liberty Bells still ring<br />
When you see trouble<br />
<br />
But we know that you don't even mean a thing you say<br />
So you brought in the army to do your job<br />
Of kicking in doors and swinging their clubs<br />
Back in the morning to watch<br />
Themselves on the news<br />
You're doing the bidding of the money man<br />
<br />
If it turns out right they'll call you 'friend'<br />
One little favor how could you really refuse<br />
Oh my heart is sinking<br />
Same old useless, worn out thinking<br />
You live your life in the court of kings<br />
Bow to the ruler and kiss the ring<br />
But we don't even understand a thing you say<br />
<br />
It could happen to you...<br />
Sometime when you least expect it<br />
It could happen to you...<br />
It could happen to you<br />
Done by the ones that you never suspected<br />
It could happen to you<br />
All your bills come due<br />
You really got to wonder what you did for<br />
<br />
Cause you don't need an army<br />
You brought it out once <br />
To move out the poor<br />
<br />
Well, Oh my heart is sinking<br />
I know you could bring it again<br />
You live your life in the court of kings<br />
The same old useless, worn out thinking<br />
Count your money as the raven sings<br />
But all your riches won't mean a thing someday<br />
Safe and sound when the wrecking ball swings<br />
Oh, It could happen to you<br />
Oh, It could happen to you<br />
<br />
Oh, It could happen to you<br />
Oh, It could happen to you
