Brutalist
Lyrics of Brutalist by Kim Petras
Verse
There was a building there and it was brutalist
And it was beautiful, it was my favorite
But it′s not there no more, because they tore it down
They really ruined it
Verse
My dad's an architect, he used to show me it
When he would drive me to the psychiatry
Again and again
Didn′t come back a man
I guess I ruined it
Verse
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Verse
Sometimes I lay awake when everyone's asleep
And I can see the arches over me
There was building there and it was brutalist
And it was beautiful
Yeah, yeah, yeah it was standing on the right side of the street
They cut my hair at the psychiatry
But it was really there, it meant so much to me but now they ruined it
Chorus
Yeah, but now they ruined it
Yeah, yeah but now they ruined it
Yeah, yeah they really ruined it
Yeah, yeah they really ruined it
Verse
They took a knife to it
They took a bomb to it
They bulldozered it
They didn't give a shit
It really breaks my heart what they did to it
They really ruined it
Chorus
Yeah, yeah they really ruined it
Yeah, yeah they took a knife to it
Yeah, yeah they took a bomb to it
Yeah, yeah they bulldozered it
Chorus
Yeah, yeah, yeah they took a knife to it
Uh huh they took a bomb to it
Yeah, yeah they bulldozered it
Yeah, yeah they really ruined it
Verse
There was building there and it was brutalist
And it was beautiful, my favorite
I wanna take you there, I wanna take you there, but they ruined it
I wanna take you there, I wanna take you there, I wanna take you there
But they tore it down
It′s not there no more, they really ruined it
