Burning Down

If it takes them so long, so long to say yes
Why don't they just say no?
They don't need anyone to be put to the test
Why don't they let us go

Livin' for the right to be, livin' for the right
Livin' for the right to be, livin' for the right
Livin' for the right to be free

We needed a plan, we needed defenses
We couldn't raise a smile
As the world looked on, they raided our senses
There can be no reconcile

Burning down, burning down
Burning down, burning down

There was a time before life was taken for granted
Will never come again
Our flower is dead, the seed is unplanted
They put it all to the flame

Burning down, burning down
Burning down, burning down

Livin' for the right to be, livin' for the right
Livin' for the right to be, livin' for the right
Livin' for the right to be free

Livin' for the right to be, livin' for the right
Livin' for the right to be, livin' for the right
Livin' for the right to be free

Burning down, burning down
Burning down, burning down
Burning down, burning down
Burning down, burning down

Burning down, burning down
Burning down
