Books Are Burning |
Books are burning in the main square |
And I saw there, the fire eating the text |
Books are burning in the still air |
And you know where they burn books, people are next |
I believe the printed word should be forgiven |
Doesn’t matter what it said |
Wisdom hotline from the dead back to the living |
Key to the larder for your heart and your head |
Books are burning in our own town |
Watch us turn 'round and cast our glances elsewhere |
Books are burning in the playground |
Smell of burnt book is not unlike human hair |
Well, I believe the printed word is more than sacred |
Beyond the gauge of good or bad |
The human right to let your soul fly free and naked |
Above the violence of the fearful and sad |
The church of matches |
Anoints in ignorance with gasoline |
The church of matches |
Grows fat by breathing in the smoke of dreams, it’s quite obscene |
Books are burning, more each day now |
And I pray now, you boys will tire of these games |
Books are burning, I hope somehow |
This will allow, a phoenix up from the flames |
