Burn It Down

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
