Stiff Little Fingers - Die And Burn lyrics

You're holding on to something

I don't believe it's real

You're living in the past

And you refuse to reappraise

Your ridiculous commitment

To an outmoded ideal

Are you honestly that stupid

Or will these wounds never heal

You can keep your flags and emblems

I don't need them anymore

So just take your age-old hatred

And then walk out of the door

I hope that you die and burn tonight

I hope that you die and burn tonight

You think of all your neighbours

As just scum upon the earth

And you live inside a bubble

Where a badge is all you're worth

All your dreams are built on loathing

All your hopes are built on hate

I can't see any way out

Of this hell that you create

You can keep your flags and emblems

I don't need them anymore

So just take your age-old hatred

And then walk out of the door

I hope that you die and burn tonight

I hope that you die and burn tonight

I wish you could see yourself

As others all see you

Then maybe you'd realise

That you seem such a fool

You can keep your flags and emblems

I don't need them anymore

So just take your age-old hatred

And then walk out of the door

I hope that you die and burn tonight

I hope that you die and burn tonight
