We don't need anyone to be put to the test
Livin' for the right to be free
They put it all to the flame
Burnin' down
There can be no reconcile
Burnin' down, burnin' down
Livin' for the right to be, livin' for the right
Livin' for the right to be, livin' for the right
Burnin' down, burnin' down
Burnin' down, burnin' down
Why don't they let us be?
We needed a plan, we needed defenses
Livin' for the right to be, livin' for the right
They couldn't raise a smile
Livin' for the right to be, livin' for the right
There was a time in our life was taken for granted
Burnin' down, burnin' down
Burnin' down
Livin' for the right to be free
Burnin' down, burnin' down
It'll never come again
Our flower is dead, the seed is unplanted
Livin' for the right to be, livin' for the right
Livin' for the right to be free
Burnin' down, burnin' down
Burnin' down, burnin' down
Burnin' down, burnin' down
Livin' for the right to be, livin' for the right
As the world looked down, they raided our senses
