Build It Up (Vinyl Version) Lyrics by Franz Ferdinand

The Human Fear [Double LP Version]

2025

[Verse]
How can we talk
About our differences
When we don't talk
Don't talk at all
It seems so critical
To speak less critically
I see no truth as mythical
No vast unbridgeable
[Pre-Chorus]
Give me strength to overcome
Give me strength I'm not going to run
Build it up, build it up
[Chorus]
You've got to give some
Take some
Fix it up
You've got to break some
You've got to open up
You've got to share
Build it up if nothing's there
[Verse]
How can we talk
About our differences
When we don't talk
Don't talk at all
Listen to the echo
Of the anger of our silences
Or to the sound
Of each other's heart
[Pre-Chorus]
Give me strength to overcome
Give me strength I'm not going to run
Build it up, build it up
[Chorus]
You've got to give some
Take some
Fix it up
You've got to break some
You've got to open up
You've got to share
Build it up if nothing's there
You've got to give some
Shake some
Pull it all down
But hate none
You've got to open up
You've got to care
Build it up if nothing's there
[Bridge]
I can build it up
If you want to build it up
We can build it up if
You want to build it up with me
Come on and build it up
Come on and build it up with me
[Chorus]
You've got to give some
Take some
Fix it up
You've got to break some
You've got to open up
You've got to share
Build it up if nothing's there
You've got to give some
Shake some
Pull it all down
But hate none
You've got to open up
You've got to care
Build it up if nothing's there
You've got to give some
Take some
Fix it up
You've got to break some
You've got to open up
You've got to share
Build it up if nothing's there
You've got to give some
Shake some
Pull it all down
But hate none
You've got to open up
You've got to care
Build it up if nothing's there
