verse 1
And so we say,we ain't got life
Don't want a cardboard cut-out,don't want a plastic knife
Now I know,time can march,with it's charging feet
Now I know,words are only cheap
Theres gonna be a burn out,all around this town
The South is up,oh but the north is down
There's gonna be a killin' of a woman and a man
Trying to feed that child without a coin in their hand
verse 2
And so we say,have you no use
For eight million hands,and the power of youth
Now I know,time can march,with it's charging feet
Now I know,words are only cheap
Theres gonna be a burn out,all around this town
The South is up,oh but the north is down
There's gonna be a killin' of a woman and a man
Trying to feed that child without a coin in their hand
Theres gonna be a burn out
verse 3
And so we say,we ain't diggin' no graves
We're diggin' a foundation,for a future to be made
Now I know,time can march,with it's charging feet
Now I know,words are only cheap
Theres gonna be a burn out,all around this town
The South is up,oh but the north is down
There's gonna be a killin' of a woman and a man
Trying to feed that child without a coin in their hand
Theres gonna be a burn out
