Lyrics:

Broken glass all around you
Try to hide, but they find you every time
Even with everything you try to do
People can still look and see right through you
Lookin’ like you came from a magazine
Regular jock star, beauty queen
Covered in labels, barely able to speak for yourself
So you look at other people and help yourself
You have your passport so you can be identified
In case the most important thing is lost
And every chance you take just to be satisfied
Is just another link in the chain of your wreckin’ ball

A link in the chain of your wreckin’ ball
A link in the chain of your wreckin’ ball
A link in the chain of your wreckin’ ball
A link in the chain of your wreckin’ ball

This is the reckoning that you feel happening
The wrecking ball destroying it all
The reckoning that you feel happening
The wrecking ball destroying it all

The bullet inside of the smokin’gun
The knife in my back when I try to run
The rain on the days that I’m stuck outside
The one to reveal when I’m tryna hide

Mr. and Mrs. Popularity, and the life of all the parties
Gotta be the first to be the bad one
Get fucked up, and have too much fun
Daddy’s not here to hold your hand
Time to buck up and be a man
Nothin’ was stoppin’ you before
Why stop now? ’Cause you're on the floor
I’m sure you’ll get your close-up
Your fifteen minutes of fame and praise
You’re the talk of the town
And every chance you took just to be glorified
Was just another brick in the wall that you're bringin’ down

A brick in the wall that you're bringin’ down
A brick in the wall that you're bringin’ down
A brick in the wall that you're bringin’ down
A brick in the wall that you're bringin’ down

This is the reckoning that you feel happening
The wrecking ball destroying it all
The reckoning that you feel happening
The wrecking ball destroying it all

The bullet inside of the smokin’ gun
The knife in my back when I try to run
The rain on the days that I’m stuck outside
The one to reveal when I’m tryna hide

And so, you try to end destruction
Of the things that make you function
But you want no interruption
And because of your selfish assumptions
I'm actin’ out this way
Ooh, you cause the eruption happenin’ inside of me

The bullet inside of the smokin’ gun
The knife in my back when I try to run
The rain on the days that I’m stuck outside
The one to reveal when I’m tryna hide

This is the reckoning that you feel happening
The wrecking ball destroying it all
The reckoning you feel happening
The wrecking ball destroying it all
This is the reckoning that you feel happening
The wrecking ball destroying it all

The bullet inside of the smokin’ gun
The knife in my back when I try to run
The rain on the days that I’m stuck outside
The one to reveal when I’m tryna hide
The link in the chain of my wreckin’ ball
The brick in the wall that you're bringin’ down
The face of the person that died inside
The person you're choosin’ to hide
