Lyrics
You gotta burn that building down
You need to destroy that structure
I would love to see that world
Expressing a desire to witness a significant change in the world
Come crashing down
Hoping for the world to collapse
You gotta burn that building down
Reiteration of the need to burn down the building
I would love to see that world
Reiteration of the desire to see a transformed world
Come crashing down
Reiterating the wish for the world to come crashing down
Did you know your actions affect all the life?
Highlighting the impact of one's actions on all life
Could you pay attention to it just one time?
Requesting attention to the consequences just once
When you're thinking up your mind, do you complain?
Questioning whether complaints arise when making decisions
Everyone pushed down in your heart, in your soul say
Everyone oppressed in your emotions and soul declares
You gotta burn that building down
Reiteration of the need to destroy the building
I would love to see that world
Reiteration of the desire to witness a changed world
Come crashing down
Reiterating the hope for the world to come crashing down
You gotta burn that building down
Repetition of the call to burn down the structure
I would love to see that world
Repetition of the desire to see a different world
Come crashing down
Repetition of the wish for the world to collapse
Then the people under, could come crawling out
Suggesting that people beneath the structure could emerge
See the sun for the first time it would burn them without a doubt
Envisioning exposure to the sun for the first time, causing discomfort
But that burn would feel so good, and so warm it would,
Acknowledging the pain as a positive, transformative experience
Let them finally feel life and be born again
Describing the transformative effect of the burn on life
Everyone pushed down in your heart, in your soul say
Everyone oppressed in your emotions and soul declares again
You gotta burn that building down
Reiteration of the need to destroy the building
I would love to see that world
Reiteration of the desire to witness a changed world
Come crashing down
Reiterating the hope for the world to come crashing down
You gotta burn that building down
Repetition of the call to burn down the structure
I would love to see that world come,
Expressing the desire to see the world come down
Love to see that world come, down, DOWN
Repetition of the wish to witness the world's transformation
