Burn It Down Songtext - John Reuben

Burn It Down - John Reuben

(chorus)
Burn it down, build it back.
It's bound to crash,
stand back, watch it collapse, let's start from scratch

my big brother’s hip with a pager
package of razors
shaved my face warm water dull blade
peach fuzz black but coming of age
formed an opinion joined in the conversation
think on your own while you've still got the motivation
smell it on our breath
younguns want to have fun
package of cinnamon gum
Johnny Reubonic fresh off the tongue
old school hip hop
A-di-das and tube socks
boom box in the boon docks
harass rednecks bump the cops
down by the creek
philosophical potheads
just say no just a guess
had the opposite effect
we made plans to be genius nomads
put a spare pair of boxer shorts in my bookbag

(chorus)
Burn it down, build it back.
It's bound to crash,
stand back, watch it collapse, let's start from scratch

found God called him friend
my plans changed again
went crazy lost my mind
felt peace in desperate times
convinced i’m not confused
followed the truth without proof
went looking for absolutes
rediscovered a new found youth
package of matches, happy accidents
dancing on ashes in the basement when the roof caves in
starting over gaining closure
this is not the end,
but the beginning of something better
let’s pretend..

(chorus 2x)

I've got the match!
Now pour the gas!

Hey, hey! Hey, hey!

Burn it down,

Hey, hey! Hey, hey! Hey, hey!

(what?) Burn it down, b-b-build it back..

let's start from scratch.
