I did n't
know that we were killer angels
I didn't care about the war machine
I was only trying to feel American
I was only trying to be like you
Well, I didn't know
about old John Brown
They built you up just to tear you down
Now you're never gonna
see the ocean
No, you're never gonna
be a man
Burn, burn, burn it, burn it down
Do it in the name of an old John Brown
No matter how they turn it around
Ain't gonna quit till I'm dying lying down
Whoever said the dead tell no tales
Ring it back up
when the living go stale
Still you're never gonna whisper hatred.
No, you're never gon
na whisper love.
The blood of a man
becomes the blood of the children.
The blood of a child
becomes the blood of the land.
Now you're never gonna be American
No, you're never gonna
be a man
Burn, burn, burn the flag down
Do it in the name of an old John Brown
No matter how they turn it around
Ain't gonna quit till
I'm dying lying down
Burn, burn, burn the planet down
Do it in the name of an old chump pound
No matter how they turn it around
Ain't gonna quit till I'm tired lying down
Don't wanna be no modern man
Turn a blind eye to the
blood in your hands
How much longer till you see
the ocean?
How much longer till you'll
be a man?
Burn, burn, burn the flag down
Do it in the name of an old John Brown
No matter how they turn it around
Ain't gonna quit till I'm
dying lying down
Burn, burn, burn the flag down
Do it in the name of an old John Brown
No matter how they turn it around
Ain't gonna quit till I'm
dying lying down
Burn, burn the flag down
Do it in the name of an old John Brown
No matter how they turn it around
Ain't gonna quit till
I'm tired of lying down
Burn, burn, butterfly down
Do it in the name of an old John Brown
Turn turn around
Ain't gonna quit till I'm
tired of lying down
Burn, burn, butterfly down
Do it in the name of an old John Brown
Turn around, turn around
Ain't gonna quit till I'm
tired of lying down
Burn, down
Do it in the of an old Brown
