Like painting a house on fire Each day I get up and wonder why I can't keep going on this way As my neighbors go on about their days Screaming won't help me as the flames grow higher Rich men in suits warm their feet at the pyre They're drinking fine whiskey and drinking fine wine Throwing matches at my neighbor's place and sleeping just fine We'll I'm done painting this house on fire Let it burn to the ground, I'm just too tired Going to steal the rich man's whiskey and wine Find out where they live and start a fire of mine Screaming won't help them as the flames grow higher All the people they've hurt dancing around the fire We'll be drinking their whisky and drinking their wine Boarding up the door with them inside After all the ashes fall and embers fade Going to rebuild this place in our own way Neighbors now friends this is our damn place Friends now family this is our damn place Our kids will tell the story when they're hairs turned gray Of when their families stopped asking if they'll have their day If you're sick and tired of the rich man's lies Burn it all down with them inside For future generations to have their say In what this world means and what's at stake Break a rich man's leg to get his boot off your face Never to let it get back that way Never to let it get back that way Never to let it get back that way Never to let it get back that way Never to let it get back that way
