lyrics

I've given up my possessions I don't want them anymore
There's alot of assumptions made out here so its time to settle the score
Well you think just how it is, is how it always shall be
There's a blood clot in this melting pot and its causing our disease

So burn it down
Burn it down
Burn it down
Burn it down
Oh won't you please burn it down

You think how you feel is real and that it's important to me
There ain't no light at the end of that grave you live to dig so deep
Well your silver lined coffin is and always was what you call home
Carry it wherever you me roam but it won't save you soul

So burn it down
Burn it down
Burn it down
Burn it down
Oh won't you please burn it down

Think it's complicated but it's simple to me
Don't let this leakin boat keep you down
Set it a blaze and drift it out to sea and let all them so called good men drow
Think it's complicated but it's simple to me
Don't let this leakin boat keep you down
Set it a blaze and drift it out to sea and let all them so called good men drow

We shall be born a new the serpant shall shed its skin
Cities will crash and turn to ash and cleanse us of our sin
And when all is said and done I will fall on my sword my dear.
Once there's nothing left to drink to I'll be bored to tears

So burn it down
Burn it down
Burn it down
Burn it down
Oh won't you please burn it down
