===================================================================== Meat Loaf Lyrics ===================================================================== Burning Down --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 defences They couldn't raise a smile As the world looked down They raided our senses There can be no reconcile 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 Burnin' Down Burnin' Down Burnin' Down Burnin' Down 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 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 Burnin' Down Burnin' Down Burnin' Down Burnin' Down Billy Rankin, 1986 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
