Burn It Down

Jimmy (yeah!)

Al (yeah!)

For God's sake, burn it down

I'll only ask you once more

You only want to believe

This man is looking for someone to hold him down

He doesn't quite ever understand the meaning

I never heard about Oscar Wilde

I don't talk about Brendan Behan

I don't think about Sean O'Casey

I don't care about George Bernard Shaw

He doesn't care about Samuel Beckett

He won't talk about Eugene O'Neill

Edna O'Brien and Laurence Sterne

Shut it! You don't understand it

Shut it! That's not the way I planned it

Shut it! Shut your mouth 'til you know the truth

I'll only ask you once more

It must be so hard to see

This man is waiting for someone to hold him down

He doesn't quite fully understand the meaning

Shut it! You don't understand it

Shut it! That's not the way I planned it

Shut it! Shut your fucking mouth 'til you know the truth
