Lyrics

[00:00.000] 作曲 : Andrew Partridge
[00:00.744] Books are burning
[00:03.618] In the main square, and I saw there
[00:10.854] The fire eating the text
[00:15.112] Books are burning
[00:19.553] In the still air
[00:22.504] And you know where they burn books
[00:29.061] People are next
[00:33.659] I believe the printed word should be forgiven
[00:40.633] Doesn't matter what it said
[00:48.287] Wisdom hotline from the dead back to the living
[00:55.366] Key to the larder for your heart and head
[01:06.834] Books are burning
[01:10.361] In our own town,
[01:14.227] watch us turn 'round
[01:17.675] And cast our glances elsewhere
[01:21.489] Books are burning
[01:25.042] In the playground
[01:28.855] Smell of burnt book is not unlike human hair
[01:40.114] I believe the printed word is more than sacred
[01:47.428] Beyond the gauge of good or bad
[01:54.612] The human right to let your soul fly free and naked
[02:01.926] Above the violence of the fearful and sad
[02:15.510] The church of matches
[02:22.433] Anoints in ignorance with gasoline
[02:29.877] The church of matches
[02:37.505] Grows fat by breathing in the smoke of dreams
[02:45.917] It's quite obscene
[02:48.660] Books are burning
[02:52.003] More each day now,
[02:55.765] and I pray now
[02:58.952] You boys will tire of these games
[03:03.131] Books are burning
[03:06.841] I hope somehow,
[03:12.013] this will allow
[03:13.946] A phoenix up from the flames
