We don’t need all those fancy things Let them take their pick from what they find The women, the silver and the wine And then they’ll lose their minds
We don’t need all those fancy things The bread and water will serve us fine We’ll burn the city to the ground And they’ll run for miles
Between the skyline and the starlight 30,000 come tonight
So we’ll burn the city to the ground my love Let them see the sky red with fire We’ll burn the city to the ground my love Let them see the smoke for miles and miles They’ll see the smoke for miles and miles
We don’t need all those fancy things Their fate is left for them to decide They’ll freeze to death in a month Or they’ll burn alive
We don’t need all those fancy things We’ll kindle everything we find We’ll bury the bones beneath the ash And rebuild it higher
Between the skyline and the starlight 30,000 come tonight
So we’ll burn the city to the ground my love Let them see the sky red with fire We’ll burn the city to the ground my love Let them see the smoke for miles and miles They’ll see the smoke for miles and miles
So run, run, run away from home, Your house is on fire, your children have gone
