LET IT BURN words by Joel Sattler/music by Lou Gigger/recorded by BRAILLE PARTY


When the riots came to my city
It was something new to learn
Watching from the rooftops
Let it burn

When they shot the Reverend from the alley
It was not what he deserved
Not what he had wanted
Let it burn

Let it burn let it burn
Let it burn let it burn
Let it burn let it burn
Let it burn burn burn
Nothing you can do but let it burn

They killed the President
Opened up another can of worms
Somebody is crying
Let it burn

Violence anger and destruction
Have finally come to term
Smashing plateglass windows
Let it burn

Let it burn let it burn
Let it burn let it burn
Let it burn let it burn
Let it burn burn burn
Nothing you can do but let it burn

Ten entire blocks on fire
Ashes put into the urn
But I can’t forget it
Let it burn

I guess that devastation is
Something that the world has earned
It will come again
Let it burn

Let it burn let it burn
Let it burn let it burn
Let it burn let it burn
Let it burn burn burn
Nothing you  can do but let it burn
Somebody will pull the trigger
Light a match, let it burn
