VII. Desert Island
VIII. Burn the World (reprise)
Billy's on the street
Grabbing easy meat
With furious claims
Somebody's killed
Anger's spilled
Vengeance's flames
Robert's on the beat
Looking nice and neat
For a one-sided fight
In his uniform
Looking to perform
With a flashing blue light
He doesn't care
Anything's fair
'Cos he's always right
As the flames of night
Burn equal right
In the wind
Whispering
Why don't you
Burn the world
Sharon's in a state
Coming home late
She's got no escape
From Billy's brute force
To intercourse
In a frenzy of rape
Both defiled
By the crowded wild
As the time bomb of hate
Modernises demise
As Robert dies
In the same hail of lise
His masters devise
And pretend suprise
As fiery cries
Begin to rise
Whispering
Why don't you
Burn the world
Change it
Rearrange it
Derange it
In the name of burning spirit
The passanger on the planet
The guinea pig chasing sunset
To the last laugh he'll ever get
Hahahahahahaha
O no I don't believe it
The passanger guiding sunset
To the kill
To the kill
Fossilise it (my home)
To a standstill
Home is on the water
The rainbow warrior runs
Against the fashion passion(s)
Philosophies of guns
Where issues are invited
To front up savage fun
By the ignorant and spineless
Out of touch with 'everyone'
Home
I wish I had an acre
Instead of just a slot
Somewhere that I cou
