Funeral Pyre

Down in amongst the streets tonight Books will burn, people laugh and cry in their turmoil (Turmoil turns rejoiceful) Shed your fears and lose your guilt Tonight we burn responsibility in the fire We'll watch the flames grow higher But if you get too burnt, you can't come back home And as I was standing by the edge I could see the faces of those who led pissing themselves laughing (And the flames grew) Their mad eyes bulged, their flushed faces said The weak get crushed as the strong grow stronger We feast on flesh and drink on blood Live by fear and despise love in a crises (What with today's high prices) Bring some paper and bring some wood Bring what's left of all your love for the fire We'll watch the flames grow higher! But if you get too burnt, you can't come back home And as I was standing by the edge I could see the faces of those who led pissing themselves laughing (And the flames grew) Their mad eyes bulged their flushed faces said The weak get crushed as the strong grow stronger In the funeral pyre We'll watch the flames grow higher But if you get too burnt, you can't come back home In the funeral pyre We'll watch the flames grow higher But if you get too burnt, you can't come back home In the funeral pyre We'll watch the flames grow higher But if you get too burnt, you can't come back home In the funeral pyre When I feel so young, well I just can't grow up to meet the demands When I feel so old, when I feel so young Well, I just can't grow up to meet their demands Well, I just can't grow up to meet their demands --- Funeral Pyre - The Jam
