lyrics

This city's stood for far too many years
And its grip around my throat is getting tighter.
We numb ourselves with cannabis and beers
When all we really need is gasoline and lighters.
I wanna see this system destroyed,
I wanna roll around in the ashes.
Give me your angry, your broke and unemployed,
Your livid and violent masses.

And if there is another world war,
I hope it's over something that ain't worth fighting for....

So we can torch all the buildings and fan all the fires,
And foil all the efforts of the gentrifiers.
We'll all sing for joy at the freedom we've found.
Burn it down, burn it down, burn it down.

Fuck everyone that don't wanna cause no harm,
Who is afraid of scars and broken bones.
Just give me anyone who'd rather take up arms,
than pay another dime in student loans.
There is no party that we represent,
It’s revolution if that's what you wanna call it.
We don't want recognition from the president,
But we'll take his fancy watch and his wallet.

And if there is another economic collapse
I hope the politicians kill each other fighting for the scraps.

Because, maybe when we finally see this goddamn city burning
We'll understand the lessons we've been centuries in learning
Maybe when we make some riot shields from manhole covers
We can learn to love ourselves and one another.
Maybe then we'll learn…

But till then we'll torch all the buildings and fan all the fires,
And foil all the efforts of the gentrifiers.
We'll all sing for joy at the freedom we've found.
Burn it down, burn it down, burn it down.
