You Gotta Burn

I had some schooling but they threw me away

For being in prison and refusing to pray

But still I'm grateful for the things that I've learned

And I learned...

You gotta burn

I knew a woman that was nothing but fine

Her only weakness was a gallon of wine

Come home one evening- surprised what I find

But I learned, learned, learned

You gotta burn

You gotta burn across the sky like a flame

You gotta burn

You gotta burn before they give you a name

You gotta burn

You gotta burn until the kingdom has came

And then you learn, learn, learn

Aw!

Some velvet morning, you'll wake up and you'll find

A nest of vipers crawling out of your mind

The sun don't shine with any reason or rhyme

It's time you turned, turned, turned

Aw yeah, you gotta burn

You gotta burn across the sky like a flame

You gotta burn

You gotta burn before they give you a name

You gotta burn

You gotta burn until the kingdom has came

You gotta burn

You gotta burn, ooh

You gotta burn

You gotta burn, burn, burn

You gotta burn

You gotta burn, burn, burn

You gotta burn

You gotta burn, burn, burn

You gotta burn

You gotta burn, burn, burn!
