Lyrics
Let It Burn
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.
Knowledge is key.
You can never know too much.
Open your books
Aim to the stars
Well I won't let them
Keep me from learning all I can.
Public schools just stand up.
The system feeds our minds.
Did the system tell you about democracy?
The same system that supported slavery?
And doesn't it seem strange then
When we try to make a change
To lock us up and throw away the key?
I won't let you
Play me for a fool
Set me free to o to church
But I cant pray in school.
Make a decision for yourself
Don't bother with any trends
Open up a book
And share the knowledge with your friends.
Did the system tell you about democracy?
The same system that created slavery?
And doesn't it seem strange then
When we try to make a change
To lock us up and throw away the key?
