Burn It 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.

And now i wonder what´s going

On and who´s really in another world while you´re

Asleep the makeup you´re

Wearing runs down your face

Like so many tears watch them

Piss away any hope for change

Any hope for anything new and

Watch them burn it down turn

The hoses on and announce a

New beginning tonight we wave

And give up a smile as a

Flaming shuttle passes by

Outside the window something

Is creeping a burning

Skeleton beams with pride

Step over bodies past corpses

In waiting blank it´s just a

Human shell it´s just a

Memory your indecision is a contribution to the cancer

That infects the earth that

Impassioned speech almost provides the heat to keep the

People sleeping on the

Streets warm out there in the

Cold in a burnt-out world

Tonight we´ll drink champagne

And dance until it´s dawn

Safe inside our fenced and

Guarded lawns let it burn

Down tonight ignore the

Blackened skies pouring down

A bloody red rain your

Television´s watching you watching a blank watching a

Slab or meat you´re just a memory it´s burning down

Tonight for the rest of your

Life it´s gonna be so cold
