Burn by Teenage Halloween Lyrics

[Verse 1]
This world is overrated
So many go without
The few turn to their creature comforts
The rest are hollowed out

[Chorus]
I don't want your empty promise
I don't want your easy fix
I wanna burn the city down and rise from the ashes
Rise from the ashes

[Verse 2]
The only thing that trickles down is generational trauma
Forty hours tick on by while your boss seeks out financial nirvana
If they cared about their people
Being rich would be illegal
There wouldn't be a question of what's equal
We're paying for this treatment
We subsidize abuse
We wait around for change to come
But we can never choose
[Chorus]
I don't want your empty promise
I don't want your easy fix
I wanna burn the city down and rise from the ashes
Rise from the ashes
Rise from the ashes

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
I don't want your empty promise
I don't want your easy fix
I wanna burn the city down and rise from the ashes
Rise from the ashes
Rise from the ashes
