Maybe It Wasn't Designed to Last

I'm new to making buildings
But give me what I need
and I'll start making something
a sight for the unseen

I could make anything I want
I could make it tall
and reach new heights

kids can paint some ugly pictures
and call me a kid
with the job I did
for what I made won't last a living

This rickety thing will come down
and cover the spot where it falls
an embarrassing smile for this part of town

But here's to making something
perhaps this time I'll read
And take some time for thinking
but give me what I need

and I could make anything I want
I could make it tall
and reach new heights
