lirik lagu jon fuller - burn it down
[verse]
play to fear and insecurity
promise that the glory will be theirs only if you are elected
prey on the opposition
come to power on the backs of a coalition of the disaffected
appoint a shadow politician
to show the base that you mean it
consolidate your coalition
trust in you, not what they’re seeing
make liberal an epithet
and denigrate the word of anyone
who ever dared to work for progress
call the media the enemy
and watch ‘em as thеy pile on to sacrifice their principlеs for access
identify another scapegoat
to keep the rubes in their anger
if cornered, fire off a fake quote
in case of clear and present danger
[chorus]
“i see it now,” you say to me
“the ceiling’s not as high as i was told it would be”
“i’ll burn it down,” you say to me
“if i don’t get my way then what’s the point of being free?
explain it to me”
[verse]
build a wall, build a border, build a barrier
no matter what you call another word for extortion
keep the fundies entertained
while you get another nda signed for your mistress’s abortion
name god a wealthy benefactor
as long as you pray the right way
if you protest then you must be an actor
either my way or the highway
[chorus]
“i see it now,” you say to me
“the ceiling’s not as high as i was told it would be”
“i’ll burn it down,” you say to me
“if i don’t get my way then what’s the point of being free?
explain it to me”

[verse]
consolidate the judiciary
and if you’re reelected float the concept of the loser in a show trial
declare yourself the father of the people
and send all your opponents into jail or to exile
dare them to call you on your bullsh~t
relitigate all your losses
see just how far they’ll let you push it
wrapped in flags and carrying crosses
[chorus]
“i see it now,” you say to me
“the ceiling’s not as high as i was told it would be”
“i’ll burn it down,” you say to me
“if i don’t get my way then what’s the point of being free?”
“i see it now,” you say to me
“this country’s not as white as it’s supposed to be”
“i’ll burn it down,” you say to me
“if i don’t get my way then what’s the point of being free?
explain it to me”
[outro]
ohh
ohh, ohh
ohh, ohh
ohh
