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
