You think the words you've saying fool me
Could even make me get out of town
You think that people will ignore me
They hear the words going around
'Cause when I leave it will be in my time
Could speaking the truth be a crime?
Well, you just gave me less than I paid for
And your wars and destruction
Have fired the fields of life we're going crazy
Deep down I'm still a believer
The only way that I'll ever know
You preach your words to broken people
Who look at you with their eyes closed
(Burn it down)
Now I'm taking my life from your hands
(Burn it down)
Stealing what's already mine
You say you passing some new order
That's gonna help the everyman
We know you're only passing water
There's garbage heading all over town
Another helter-skelter on the way
And it's not gonna stop until we say
That you're taking away from all that we need
And your wars and destruction
Have fired the fields of life we're going crazy
Deep down I'm still a believer
The only way that I'll ever know
You preach your words to broken people
Who look at you with their eyes closed
(Burn it down)
Now I'm dreaming my life as a man
(Burn it down)
Am I digging my grave on your land?
Deep down I'm still a believer
The only way that I'll ever know
You preach your words to broken people
Who look at you with their eyes closed
(Burn it down)
Now I'm taking my life from your hands
(Burn it down)
Stealing what's already mine
(Burn it down)
Yeah, I'm taking my life from your hands
(Burn it down)
The phoenix is coming to town
