"Burn It Down" lyrics

Yet another story about pain turned into glory it wears you out
Seen it on the faces of people losing faith yeah they fear and doubt
On and on the same old song you sing the words, but they're all wrong
Broken by the promises no one ever told you they were all lies
Keeps you from flying

Whoa oh oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh oh
You're gonna burn it down
You're gonna burn it down
Whoa oh oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh oh
You're gonna burn it down
You're gonna burn it down

The problem with the truth is it bruises all the egos of simple minds
Closer to the ending in fear you want the answers and pay the price
On and on the same old song you sing the words, but they're all wrong
The world a final test when they push you from the nest and they leave you out
No more flying

Whoa oh oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh oh
You're gonna burn it down
You're gonna burn it down
Whoa oh oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh oh
You're gonna burn it down
You're gonna burn it down

Ooh oh oh
Ooh oh oh
Your day will come and you'll be flying
Ooh oh oh
Ooh oh oh
Your day will come and you'll be flying

When you finally hear the truth
And there's nothing you can do
It just passed you by
One day you'll open up
When you spill it from your cup
It will leave you dry
Now you're flying

Whoa oh oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh oh
You're gonna burn it down
You're gonna burn it down
Whoa oh oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh oh
You're gonna burn it down
You're gonna burn it down

Ooh oh oh
Ooh oh oh
You're gonna burn it down
You're gonna burn it down

Ooh oh oh
Ooh oh oh
You're gonna burn it down
You're gonna burn it down
