Nazareth - Burning Down lyrics

If it takes them so long

So long to say yes

Why don't they just say no?

They don't need anyone to be put to the test

Why don't they let us go

Livin? for the right to belivin? for the right

Livin? for the right to belivin? for the right

Livin? for the right to be free

We needed a planwe needed defenses

We couldn't raise a smile

As the world looked onthey raided our senses

There can be no reconcile

Burning downburning downburning downburning down

There was a time before life was taken for granted

‘will never come again

Our flower is deadthe seed is unplanted

They put it all to flame

Burning downburning downburning downburning down

Livin? for the right to belivin? for the right

Livin? for the right to belivin? for the right

Livin? for the right to be free

Livin? for the right to belivin? for the right

Livin? for the right to belivin? for the right

Livin? for the right to be free

Burning downburning downburning downburning down
