Burning Down the World by The Jackalopes Lyrics

Genre: rock | Year: 2003

Broken lock in the dead of night
Stained glass falls like shooting stars
Fallen angels in the dead of night
Stained skin of beautific scars
And they turn the cross upside down
And spit upon that thorny crown

And the churches are burning
And you people want a reason
Yeah the churches are all burning
Maybe because we don't need them
And the churches are all burning down
Maybe we don't need them anymore, maybe we don't need them anymore

Broken children in the broad daylight
Shotgun shells fall like shooting stars
Fallen angels in the broad daylight
Shot dead in classrooms filled with scars
And they turn the world upside down

And spit upon that cap and gown
And the schools are all burning
And you people want a reason
Yeah the schools are all burning
Maybe because we don't need them
And the schools are all burning down
Maybe we don't need them anymore, maybe we don't need them anymore

Broken hearts in their room at night
Mom and Dad they fall like shooting stars
Fallen angels in the bathroom light
Washing blood out of open scars
And they turn their lives upside down
And cut the family tree right down

And Mommy is burning
And you people want a reason
And Daddy is burning
Maybe because we don't need him
Mom and Dad are both burning down
Maybe we don't need them anymore, maybe we don't need them anymore

And the whole world is burning
And you people want a reason
Yeah the whole world is burning
Maybe because we don't need it
WE'RE BURNING DOWN THE WORLD
This whole fucking world is burning down...
