Burn It Down Lyrics

She reached into the barrel

To find something to fill her up

Turns out that she was looking down the barrel

Of a loaded gun

The only thing that she asked for

Was some fruit to keep her fed

But somehow they say that what she asked for

Was to get filled up with lead

Well the trees are filled with poison

'Cause it seeps up from the ground

When the orchard has gone rotten

You've got to burn the whole thing down

Burn it down

Burn it down

When the orchard has gone rotten

You've got to burn the whole thing down

It seemed like such a simple goal

Just to keep the doctor away

But now it seems like the bushel's been spoiled

And we're stuck with the decay

Well the trees are filled with poison

'Cause it seeps up from the ground

When the orchard has gone rotten

You've got to burn the whole thing down

Burn it down

Burn it down

When the orchard has gone rotten

You've got to burn the whole thing down

Dare I hope

There's a better plan

On this land

For the masses

From these ashes?

Well the trees are filled with poison

'Cause it seeps up from the ground

When the orchard has gone rotten

You've got to burn the whole thing down

Burn it down

Burn it down

Burn it down

Burn it down

When the orchard has gone rotten

You've got to burn the whole thing down
