Burning Down Lyrics by Meat Loaf

Blind Before I Stop

0

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
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
They couldn't raise a smile
As the world looked down, they raided our senses
There can be no reconcile
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
Burnin' down, burnin' down
Burnin' down, burnin' down, burnin' down, burnin' down... (to fade)
