They don’t need anyone to be put to the test Why don’t they let us go? 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 need a plan, we needed defenses, We couldn’t raise a smile, As the world looked on, they raided our senses, There can be no reconcile. Burning down, Burning down, Burning down, Burning down. There was a time before life was taken for granted, ‘Will never come again, Our flower is dead, the seed is unplanted. They put it all to flame. Burning down, Burning down, Burning down, Burning 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. 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. Burning down, Burning down, Burning down, Burning down.
