Didn’t you hear the stories that your forefathers’ forefathers whispered
Don’t you know of the heroes that you’re helping to create
Don’t you ever wonder why we want to be, want to be with her
Don’t you know the fears that you’re not helping to abate

Burn it down oh burn it down oh burn the city to the ground
Burn it down and plant the seeds, the seeds that freedom’s water feeds
Burn it down oh burn it down oh burn their empire to the ground
Burn it down and sing the song of death and solidarity

Don’t you know the people in the tragedy that you are writing
Don’t you know you’re writing in the world and not on the page
Don’t you know that the desperate are all seeds that you are burying
Don’t you know who’s read these words of pain and of love and rage

Burn it down oh burn it down oh burn the city to the ground
Burn it down and plant the seeds, the seeds that freedom’s water feeds
Burn it down oh burn it down oh burn their empire to the ground
Burn it down and sing the song of death and solidarity

The ghosts that haunt the empire
The empire you represent
They’ll set your halo on fire
You have become what they resent

Burn it down oh burn it down oh burn the city to the ground
Burn it down and plant the seeds, the seeds that freedom’s water feeds
Burn it down oh burn it down oh burn their empire to the ground
Burn it down and sing the song of death and solidarity
