lyrics

I smell a burning and it's burning from far away
I smell a burning building blown up every single day
I smell a burning bridge that's fallen into the bay
And every day it's getting stronger
And every day it's raging longer
And every day it's just another link between the truth and what the truth is perceived to be

I smell a burning and it's burning all through the day
I smell a burning school programming every word you say
I smell a burning flag that stripped all your rights away
And every day it's getting stronger
And every day the line's getting longer
And every day it's just another reminder of every truth that's been hidden away from us

I don't need your old conventions
I don't believe in your false convictions
I don't approve of your retention

I smell a burning and it's burning from far away
I smell a burning corpse that doesn't want to decay
I smell a burning house that's full of people so afraid
And every day it's getting stronger
And every day it's raging longer
And every day it's just another broken link between the truth and what the truth is supposed to be.
