Story Behind the Song
I wanted to express my concern for the potential callapes of humanity due to the building tentions that resulted in the recent destruction of the World Trade Center. I immersed these thoughts in a big groove and a slappy guitar.
Lyrics
Burn The Whole Thing Down
Well hey there, what do you say, are you ready for the show
It’s full of lies and compromise, on TV and radio
I hear the sound again, I see them rushing in.
They’re gonna cover up the truth, gonna let the beast loose, til we never see light again
Crackers got an act, sound is getting phat, never take your eyes off the money,
they may just burn the whole thing down
Well hey there, what do you say, are you ready for the news
It’s just this side of genocide, with their disappointing views
Were heading straight for war, I’ve seen it all before
We’ve gotta take the power back, never let them in the sack, or they’ll take us to the morgue again.
Inside of me, I feel deeply, this ain’t the road we want to go
