If it takes them so long, so long to say yes, why don't they just say no

We don't need anyone to be put to the test, why don't they let us be



Chorus:

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 defences, they couldn't raise a smile

As the world looked down, they raided our senses, there can be no reconcile



(chorus)



Burnin' down, burnin' down, burnin' down, burnin' down



There was a time in our life was taken for granted, it'll never come again

Our flower is dead, the seed is unplanted, they put it all to the flame



Burnin' down, burnin' down, burnin' down, burnin' down

Burnin' down, burnin' down, burnin' down, burnin' down



(chorus)



(Solo)



Burnin' down, burnin' down



Burnin' down, burnin' down, burnin' down, burnin' down... (to fade)
