Burn It Down

Come take a walk with me
Across the land of opportunity
Where freedom was
A word we used to shout
To express an ideal forged upon
Hypocrisy then struggle
Then sacrifice and foaming from the mouth

A rabid testimony never failed
To drum a call to action
Touting fiction over common sense
And decency
Is but an aged virtue we can point and laugh at
Cry a river cry for me
Cry for affirmation but don't make it known
Your cover may be blown

And when the fires have burned our city to the ground
There in the ashes what was lost Is just a faded memory
And when the rains have washed away All of the destruction
We can rebuild and burn it down all over again

Don't bite the hand that feeds
When the other holds a gun
Behavior all for show
No threat behind demands
Don't lay your demon's down to rest tonight
With empty prayers by candlelight
Will progress leave our own blood on our hands
To relive rose colored past is gone, but never too far away
Keep your eyes upon the prize
Abandon thoughts of truths and lies

And when the fires have burned our city to the ground
There in the ashes what was lost Is just a faded memory
And when the rains have washed away All of the destruction
We can rebuild and burn it down all over again

And when the fires have burned our city to the ground
There in the ashes what was lost Is just a faded memory
And when the rains have washed away the destruction we have done
We can rebuild and burn it down all over again
We can rebuild and burn it down all over again
All over again
