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
