If it takes them so long So long to say yes Why don't they just say no? They don't need anyone to be put to the test Why don't they let us go
Livin' for the right to be, livin' for the right Livin' for the right to be, livin' for the right Livin' for the right to be free
We needed a plan, we needed defenses We couldn't raise a smile As the world looked on, they raided our senses There can be no reconcile
Burning down, burning down, burning down, burning down
There was a time before life was taken for granted 'Will never come again Our flower is dead, the seed is unplanted They put it all to flame
Burning down, burning down, burning down, burning down
Livin' for the right to be, livin' for the right Livin' for the right to be, livin' for the right Livin' for the right to be free Livin' for the right to be, livin' for the right Livin' for the right to be, livin' for the right Livin' for the right to be free
Burning down, burning down, burning down, burning down
