Burning Down

[Verse 1]

From the back of my neck, oh, oh, oh

Wired a glass jaw, oh, oh

Plantation burning, your boat is coming in

Strum your jew's harp, you're reeking gin

[Pre-Chorus]

Running water in a sinking boat

Going under, but they've got your goat

[Chorus]

Burning down

My hands are tied, my feet are bound

Burning down

Can't you see that my hands are bound?

[Verse 2]

Johnny Mike is reading in the yard

His story's timely, oh oh oh

What river is it anyway, radio

Not in a boat, in your ear

[Pre-Chorus]

Running water in a sinking boat

Going under, but they've got your goat

[Chorus]

Burning down

My hands are tied, my feet are bound

Burning down

Can't you see that my hands are bound?

[Bridge]

You pick your island in the sun

Take your island off he's got a gun

[Chorus]

Burning down

My hands are tied, my feet are bound

Burning down

Can't you see that my hands are bound?

[Verse 3]

He's cooking in the woods, a brush fire in your neck

Feeling mighty mighty, oh, oh, oh

You can pick your island in the sun

Take your island off, he's got a gun

[Pre-Chorus]

Running water in a sinking boat

Going under, but they've got your goat

[Chorus]

Burning down

My hands are tied, my feet are bound

Burning down

Can't you see that my hands are bound?
