the world is burning down ignorance the flame hate the accelerant passivity the water you don't throw bewilderment the catalyst that pushes you to flight instead of fight the world is burning down institutions we once believed in are preventing people from breathing the world is burning down schools are teaching our children to be xenophobic civilians the world is burning down a system we once thought had merit is so broken we don't know how to repair it the rug of democracy pulled right out from under us using your voice is your one opportunity to make a choice but they silenced us with all this noise sign on the dotted line with both hands tied behind my back establishment didn't want a revolution they came up with a solution one candidate a fear mongering ***** one the robin hood we've been waiting for one in a position they bought and paid for the world is buring down they locked robin hood out of the water supply now we've got two choices suffocate in the blatant flames of hate or smolder slowly at the hands of powers that cannot relate

the world is burning down ignorance the flame hate the accelerant passivity the water you don't throw bewilderment the catalyst that pushes you to flight instead of fight the world is burning down institutions we once believed in are preventing people from breathing the world is burning down schools are teaching our children to be xenophobic civilians the world is burning down a system we once thought had merit is so broken we don't know how to repair it the rug of democracy pulled right out from under us using your voice is your one opportunity to make a choice but they silenced us with all this noise sign on the dotted line with both hands tied behind my back establishment didn't want a revolution they came up with a solution one candidate a fear mongering ***** one the robin hood we've been waiting for one in a position they bought and paid for the world is buring down they locked robin hood out of the water supply now we've got two choices suffocate in the blatant flames of hate or smolder slowly at the hands of powers that cannot relate
