Burn It Down |
Down in a village where most residents were poor |
An old man had a factory that folks called «The Killing Floor» |
He was a surly master and though his workers all had wives |
He’d work them within inches of their lives! |
They all were sick and tired of this stuff (Hey, hey, hey, hey) |
The men decided that they’d had enough |
We won’t take this anymore! |
Not gonna die on The Killing Floor |
He won’t work us into the ground |
It’s time to strike a match and burn it down… |
They waited for the old man to head home for the night |
Then muscled in with kerosene and lanterns to ignite |
They took one final look at all these monsterous machines |
Then lit the match that would fulfill their dreams |
It was a blazing jubilee (Hey, hey, hey, hey) |
They felt these flames had set these workers free |
We won’t take this anymore! |
Not gonna die on The Killing Floor |
He won’t work us into the ground |
It’s time to strike a match and burn it down… |
As the workers danced around the fire having fun |
The old man pulled up terrified and screamed «What have you done?!» |
«This factory was the only thing that kept us all alive! |
Now you’ve gone and blown us all sky high!» |
The factory was above an oil lake (Hey, hey, hey, hey) |
But all too late they realized their mistake |
We wouldn’t take it anymore! |
Didn’t wanna die on The Killing Floor |
But we drove ourselves to the ground |
When we struck that match and burned it down… |
Why’d we have to go and burn it down?! |
