Burning Down Paradise Songtext
von Tokyo Blade

[Boulton/Marsh/Wiggins]

Do you believe in God in heaven
Do you believe or have you lost the faith
Did you ever try getting blood from a stone
No-one hears you screaming when you′re standing alone

Nothin' else to give, we′re killin' ourselves to live
It's a crime and we′re wasting time
All the young dudes with serious attitudes
It′s a crime and we're wasting time
I want what′s yours and you want what's mine
It′s a crime and we're wasting time
Little of what is said makes sense in my head
It′s a crime and we're wasting time


Burning down paradise
Like taking matches and gasoline
And placing it in a child's hand
Burning down paradise
Is it too late (too late)
Burn...
We′re burning paradise

Man with a gun talks about revolution
Do you really believe that it′s a solution
Does it make you laugh when you hear them lying
Do you cry like a child 'cos you′re scared of dying

He's the king of the alley, his queen′s the gutter cat
It's a crime and we′re wasting time
Man bleeding in the rain we ain't got time to feel his pain
It's a crime and we′re wasting time
There′s a man with a grin says he's free from sin
It′s a crime and we're wasting time
We′re sliding into mud... man I've had enough
And we′re wasting time
