Lyrics Refused – I Wanna Watch The World Burn
Text:
What we lost in the fire we’ll find in the ashes
There’s an untold promise ‘neath the rubble of the ruin
Without the shedding of blood there won’t be forgiveness
Don’t need to list the reasons ‘cos I know you’ve felt it too
One spark to set it off
One match is all we need
Wanna stack your values high
And douse with gasoline
What we lost in the fire we’ll find in the ashes
There’s something calling, something outside the herd
I’m trying to wield my privilege in the service of a dream
It’s not impossible to me that one morning we’ll see
A new seed scattered on a level field
I wanna watch the world burn for what it’s done
I wanna watch the world burn for what we’ve become
One spark to set it off
One match is all we need
Wanna stack your values high
And douse with gasoline
Cause I know you felt it too
Cause I know you felt it too
