The Burning Building

[Verse 1] There's an opportunity to play 'The Burning Building' It's a structural mess But we'll get national press when it falls The foundations will collapse When the roof goes up in flames There'll be reporters in helicopters Trying to question our motivation You'll be closing the main stage The exposure will be amazing for us all [Chorus] Down we go Down we go When the building falls [Verse 2] There's an opportunity to play 'The Burning Building' If you can sell 50 tickets And you're fine with us taking it all We smashed the previous system Then rebuilt with us on top Success is measured by numbers The punters and artists can pay for the lot It's not immoral, it's all legal You're a product, we're the ones Who sell them all [Chorus] Back to you Back to you When the building falls [Bridge] Ignore the warning signs (Where do we sign?) Ignore the warning signs (Where do we sign?) Ignore the warning signs (Where do we sign?) Ignore the warning signs [Verse 3] Call the fire brigade this needs to be stopped They are lying to you and then taking the lot It's a tough old business takes a while to learn Keep your wits about you and try not to get burnt [Extended Chorus] Down we go Down we go And no one one knows Where the cash goes When the building falls 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3
