Burning Down Songtext
von Meat Loaf

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
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

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
Livin' for the right to be, livin' for the right
Burnin' down
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
