The sun's amber light ignites the day anew
As a child sits and wonders what to do
You see, the world is changing outside, but his home stands still
With this mindset in place, each day becomes a thrill
Mom and Dad's time would revolutionize history
Making this mindset more of a mystery
And now their teachings and their actions define behavior
Discounting every single person that has labored
Every morning he faces the forces that make him try
Knowing the silence and force only hides the lies
'Cause he is one of the chosen, child of the master race
And must live life at the family's own pace
And now he stands alone at recess, and prays that God
Will define the lines and leave the lesser man in pieces
We ask why does this social structure sag
They say pledge American but worship the rebel flag
Let it burn down
Let it burn down to the ground
Let it burn down
Let it burn down to the ground
It doesn't represent me
(If I leave here tomorrow)
Sweet, not sour, spiteful thoughts of you devour
Until the moment of confrontation
In hopes of alleviation, a child's demonstration
Of open segregation
Although you like to think this taboo
This as any other teaching remains true
And to some it's absolutely relevant, that time is spent
Teaching the next generation the rebel flag is heaven sent
And with this comes a certain loyalty
And the hierarchy of demise, like Hitler becomes royalty
Looked up to as a hero for all times
Breeding the ignorance with the lack of line to define
What is real, true and right
Blurring the lines of progress when 20/20's hindsight
The flag is a visual for them that revel in false might
With crosses set on the lawn just to ignite
Let it burn down
Let it burn down to the ground
