Down in amongst the streets tonight, books will burn,
people laugh and cry in their turmoil
Turmoil turns rejoiceful
Shed your fears and lose your guilt,
tonight we burn responsibility in the fire
We ll watch the flames grow higher.
And as I was standing by the edge,
I could see the faces of those who left
pissing themselves laughing
and the flames grew higher
Their mad eyes bulged, their flushed faces said
The weak get crushed and the strong grow stronger.
BRIDGE
We feast on flesh and drink on blood,
live by fear and despise love in our crisis
What with todays high prices.
Bring some paper and bring some wood
and bring whats left of your love for the fire
And we ll watch the flames grow higher.
