Burning Down (Letra)

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

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.

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 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 (Letra)

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

(berry/buck/mills/stipe)

From the back of my neck, oh, oh, oh
Wired a glass jaw, oh, oh
Plantation burning your boat is coming in
Strum your jew’s-harp, you’re reeking gin

(chorus)
Running water in a sinking boat
Going under but they’ve got your goat
Burning down – my hands are tied my feet are bound
Burning down – can’t you see that my hands are bound

Johnny mike is reading in the yard
His story’s timely, oh, oh, oh
What river is it anyway, radio
Not in a boat, in your ear

(repeat chorus)

You pick your island in the sun
Take your island off he’s got a gun
Burning down – my hands are tied my feet are bound
Burning down – can’t you see that my hands are bound

He’s cooking in the woods, a brush fire in your neck
Feeling mighty mighty, oh, oh, oh
You can pick your island in the sun
Take your island off he’s got a gun

(repeat chorus)

If it takes them so long, so long to say yes, why don’t they just say no
We don’t need anyone to be put to the test, why don’t they let us be
Chorus:

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 defences, they couldn’t raise a smile
As the world looked down, they raided our senses, there can be no reconcile

(chorus)

Burnin’ down, burnin’ down, burnin’ down, burnin’ down

There was a time in our life was taken for granted, it’ll never come again
Our flower is dead, the seed is unplanted, they put it all to the flame

Burnin’ down, burnin’ down, burnin’ down, burnin’ down
Burnin’ down, burnin’ down, burnin’ down, burnin’ down

(chorus)

Burnin’ down, burnin’ down

Burnin’ down, burnin’ down, burnin’ down, burnin’ down…

(to fade)
