lyrics
It was handed down as part of the past,
it was made by hand and it was made to last
Put it up on the auction block
Get a hammer to break the lock.
I built a machine out of steel and wood
with a piece of tin for a makeshift hood.
Put it up on the auction block
Coughing smoke in fits and starts.
It's a forerunner of ten year's bad luck
while blindfolded and leaning on a crutch.
And a horn will blow when you light your pipe
and a cock will crow when the moment's right.
If the ship of state were to run aground
and the king was weighed and a cure was found
If they got confused trespassing and bold
And they turned the screws trepanning for gold
I could tear it down and remove all doubt
I could drink pure mud until the sun burns out
You've got to make it new
You've got to make it new
You've got to make it new
You've got to make it new
Brothers sisters build build a union strong
raise the wages high with hammer and tongs
Put it up on the auction block
drop your guard and take a walk
They tap their hollow canes on the cobblestones
and in the rosebushes where the drunkards moan
Put it up on the auction block
Midnight handshakes in a parking lot
It's a forerunner of ten year's bad luck
while blindfolded and leaning on a crutch
And a horn will blow when you light your pipe
and a cock will crow when the moment's right
If the ship of state were to run aground
and the king was weighed and a cure was found
If they got confused trespassing and bold
And they turned the screws trepanning for gold
I could tear it down and remove all doubt
I could drink pure mud until the sun burns out
You've got to make it new
You've got to make it new
You've got to make it new
You've got to make it new
It's a forerunner of ten years bad luck
if you don't look down and you don't fuck up
You've got to make it new
You've got to make it new
You've got to make it new
You've got to make it new
