"America Burning" lyrics
"America Burning"
Hip hip, hip hooray they say
You've got it made
Hip hip, hip hooray hooray
Yeah the world is a stage
When you can act out loud and rattle the cage
And remove any doubt that you're enraged
Like a fool I guess at the end of the day
You might be woke but not awake
Pray if you need it
Beg if you want it
Scream if you're for it
Devastation
Pray if you need it
Beg if you want it
Scream if you hate it
Desperation
The wrong information
Pray for your family and cry yourself to sleep
Pledge your allegiance to the flag under your feet
Is this apocalypse now? Who let the animals out?
Hip hip hooray, say something shocking
Who doesn't love a parade with gasoline and grenades?
Don't be afraid, it's just America burning
Hip hip, hip hooray they say
You've got it made
Your theory might be critical, but who's in charge?
If victimhood is currency, then you won't starve
Pray if you need it
Beg if you want it
Scream if you're for it
Devastation
Pray if you need it
Beg if you want it
Scream if you hate it
Desperation
The wrong information
Pray for your family and cry yourself to sleep
Pledge your allegiance to the flag under your feet
Is this apocalypse now? Who let the animals out?
Hip hip hooray, say something shocking
Who doesn't love a parade with gasoline and grenades?
Don't be afraid, it's just America burning
Pray for your sanity and cry yourself to sleep
Pledge your allegiance to the flag under your feet
Is this apocalypse now? Who let the animals out?
Hip hip hooray, say something shocking
Who doesn't love a parade with gasoline and grenades?
Don't be afraid, it's just America burning

Highly Suspect - "16" It took me sixteen years to find ya
One second to love ya
Seven years to hold ya
One minute to lose ya
Oh, God
Where did I go wrong?
Oh, God
Do you remember
All of the nasty shit you used to do...
Pop Evil - "Survivor" If I wasn't good enough to finally succeed
Then I couldn't love the reasons that I still bleed
It's getting harder to walk, I guess I'll just have to run
Headed straight off a cliff, I'm not like...
Finger Eleven - "Paralyzer" I hold on so nervously
To me and my drink
I wish it was cooling me
But so far, has not been good
It’s been shitty
And I feel awkward, as I should
This club has got to be
The most pretentious...
Three Days Grace - "So Called Life" Can't laugh, can't cry, can't live, can't die
Can't do anything anymore, no
Can't love, can't breathe, can't talk, can't sleep
But I can't seem to stay awake anymore, oh
What a time to be alive
Such...
Stone Sour - "Bother" Wish I was too dead to cry
My self-affliction fades
Stones to throw at my creator
Masochists to which I cater
You don't need to bother
I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold...
