lyrics

Is it alright?
Maybe our pride has done us in.
We let ourselves go and we lost our way.
Will you blame it on decay?

Everyone can hear them laughing.
Like it's all a joke to them.
The smoke and flames are starting to ascend.
The river's caught on fire once again.
Then someone said, "Just let it burn!"

Tell me a tale of a golden time.
The past is there to die.
What is right now?
What is there to save?
Start living for today!

Everyone can hear them laughing.
Like it's all a joke to them.
The smoke and flames are starting to ascend.
The river's caught on fire once again.
Then someone said, "Just let it burn!"
