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 need 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 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
