Lyrics
Burn (The City Down)
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Years of repression, condensedin a handful of yellow pagesvictims of our own choiceswe build our own cages
Old men dictate the rulesmask of a false democracybut them wear the holy signcenturies of a stupid legacy
Why did you still breathe? After all you have done! (burn, down!)you gotta feel the rage, breaking every single bone! (burn, down!)where will you hide now? Your last hope has gone! (burn, down!)
You gotta feel the rage, breaking every single bone!
And let the people burn the city down!
Let the people burn the city down!
A young man chops his breakfastin a mirror white as the virgin
A little child wants to learn byanother homeless that's living in
Shreds of dreamslatent open sore
Rip your papers and your racist rules
'Cause here it won't be no more!
Why did you still breathe?
After all you have done! (burn, down!)
You gotta feel the rage, breaking every single bone!
(Burn, down!)
Where will you hide now?
Your last hope has gone! (burn, down!)
You gotta feel the rage, breaking every single bone!
Yeah!
And let the people burn the city down!let the people burn the city down!
