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) (Solo) Burnin' down, burnin' down Burnin' down, burnin' down, burnin' down, burnin' down... (to fade)
