Ratboys - Burn It Down Lyrics

Ratboys Lyrics

"Burn It Down"

Young boy pouring that gas
You don't know what he's thinking
Looking at his hands

We gotta burn it down
We gotta burn it down

Take all that you can grab
Life ring, quicker than lightning
Light, fire, crash

We gotta burn it down
We gotta burn it down
No time to wait around
We gotta burn it down

Shiny metal heart
Beat down the block
Looking for an answer now

Deep down, you know it's wrong
Deep down, you know it's wrong
But still you go along
Deep down you know it's wrong

It's always been this way
It's never gonna change
So, take your kindling rage
And throw it on the flame

We gotta burn it down
We gotta burn it down
Hands off our fuckin' mouths
We gotta burn it down

We gotta burn it down
We gotta burn it down
Hands off our fuckin' mouths
We gotta burn it down

We gotta burn it down
We gotta burn it down
Hands off our fuckin' mouths
We gotta burn it down

We gotta burn it down
We gotta burn it down
Hands off our fuckin' mouths
We gotta burn it down
