Lyrics Burn It Down - Dexys Midnight Runners

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 doesnt quite ever understand the meaning
Never heard about, can’t think about
Oscar Wilde and Brendan Behan
Sean O’Casey, George Bernard Shaw
Samuel Beckett, Eugene O’Neill, Edna O’Brien and Lawrence Sterne
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 doesnt quite fully understand the meaning
Never heard about, won’t think about
Oscar Wilde and Brendan Behan
Sean O’Casey, George Bernard Shaw
Samuel Beckett, Eugene O’Neill, Edna O’Brien and Lawrence Sterne
Sean Kavanaugh and Sean McCann
Benedict Keilly, Jimmy Hiney
Frank O’Connor and Catherine Rhine
Shut it You don’t understand it
Shut it That’s not the way I planned it
Shut your fucking mouth til you know the truth
