The big threads make no sound
They go deaf with the rest
Leaving the downtown
To the rats and the other pests
Cut back, cut the fat, cut the staff
Cut the paycheck, cut the milkmaid
Pee on election day
Piss just like the rest
Same words, all sound like lies
Same face, looks like someone to blame
Same house, on the very same ground
Burn it down
(Burn it down, burn it down, burn it down)
Bury you
With all the glory we gave you
Burn it down, burn it down, burn it down
♪
The doggy in the backyard
The one that bit you
Chomping on a bone
Digging a hole
It's a little beast
That makes us feel superior
The little treasure is forever its own
Same words, all sound like lies
Same face, looks like someone to blame
Same day, seems a little darker
Burn it down
(Burn it down, burn it down, burn it down)
Bury you
With all the guilt that we feel
Burn it down, burn it down
Bury you
Burn it down, burn it down, burn it down
♪
New suit for the new clown
Fresh coat for the old god
Rant the illness
Spread the disease
A year to build the ship
All for a little flood
The disk proves your loyalty
And the snapshot makes you sick
Same words, all sound like lies
Same face, looks like someone to blame
Same house, on the very same ground
Burn it down
(Burn it down, burn it down, burn it down)
Bury you
Bury you
Burn it down, burn it down, burn it down
Bury you
Burn it down, burn it down
Bury you
Burn it down, burn it down
