They're Trying to Build a Prison

October 1, 2012
By Anonymous

Burn it
Burn it
Burn it all
Burn it with fire
Burn the walls
Watch them crumble
Watch them fall
Burn it
Burn it
Burn it all

Cry no tears for the fallen
They are free now
Free from the prison
Free from the pain
Conformity went and
Freedom came

Burn it
Burn it
Burn it all
Burn it with fire
Burn the walls
Watch them crumble
Watch them fall
Burn it
Burn it
Burn it all
