If it takes them so long
So long to say yes
Why don´t they just say no?
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 needed 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
