Burn It Down

Rodney Coronado was arrested for a speech

That he gave one evening by the San Diego beach

He stated his opinions, they sounded just like mine

Now they want to put him behind bars til 2029

Prosecutor said the problem was the speech showed intent

I couldn’t figure out exactly what that meant

You can’t describe an action say you thought that it was swell

So what’ll happen when we sing this, who the heck can tell

But we don’t like the condo and we’re gonna burn it down

Corporate terrorists, drive them out of town

We’ll bring a lot of gasoline, pour it on the floor

Light a match, say a prayer and run right out the door

Burn it down, burn it down, we’re going to burn it down

Burn it down, burn it down, burn it down

Now if you just sang that chorus then you just broke the law

To be an eco-terrorist now you just gotta flap your jaw

And hey who knows by the time you have a chance to blink

Whether you’re a criminal might depend on what you think

But we don’t like the bulldozers and we’re gonna burn them down

Corporate terrorists, drive them out of town

We’ll bring a lot of gasoline, pour it on the floor

Light a match, say a prayer and run right out the door

Burn it down, burn it down, we’re going to burn it down

Burn it down, burn it down, burn it down

First they came for Rod, maybe next they come for you

Let me tell you what I think all of us should do

Sing this song with me, raise your fist and caterwaul

If we fight together they can’t arrest us all

Cause we don’t like the Wal-Mart and we’re gonna burn it down

Corporate terrorists, drive them out of town

We’ll bring a lot of gasoline, pour it on the floor

Light a match, say a prayer and run right out the door

Burn it down, burn it down, we’re going to burn it down

Burn it down, burn it down, burn it down
