Burn The Straw Man Lyrics - Butcher Babies

Burn the straw man 

Burn the straw man 

Burn the straw man 

Light a match and watch it burn 

Burn the fucking straw man down 

Now who is the victim and what is the charge 

We've been stuck in the system for years 

There's a human being wanted at large 

He's a status code, a shit stain, a fucking disease 

Let's go 

We're just legal friction 

They make you up and take a name 

A piece of paper gave you a life but they treat you like a thing 

They have ways of distraction 

They keep you entertained 

Keep watching don't ask questions 

Reinforce the make believe

They're watching me, they're watching you 

They're watching me, they're watching you 

They're watching me and they're watching you 

Be afraid 

Be very afraid 

Burn like a straw man 

Burn like a straw man 

Burn 

Understand 

Do you stand under me 

Burn like a straw man 

Burn like a straw man 

Burn 

Photos 

I'm sick of following the leader 

I'm sick of the shame 

I've been sick from the cloud of smoke blinding this gaze 

So put your left foot in and your 

right foot out and charge that mother fucker 

Knock the straw man down 

He has a million voices telling us lies 

Describing your fate to your face while scripting your demise 

He uses fear as his favorite play while hiding his eyes 

For the calm and innocent who wreak of surprise 

They're watching me, they're watching you 

They're watching me, they're watching you 

They're watching me and they're watching you 

Be afraid 

Be very afraid 

Burn like a straw man 

Burn like a straw man 

Burn 

Understand 

Do you stand under me 

Burn like a straw man 

Burn like a straw man 

Burn 

I'm afraid 

I'm very afraid 

Burn like a straw man 

Burn like a straw man 

Burn 

Understand 

Do you stand under me 

Burn like a straw man 

Burn like a straw man 

Burn 

The straw man 

He falls over 

Burn the straw man 

He burns so fucking hot 

Light a match, watch it burn 

Put your hand up, take a turn 

Light a match, watch it burn 

Put your hand up, take a turn 

Be afraid 

Be very afraid 

Burn like a straw man 

Burn like a straw man 

Burn 

Understand 

Do you stand under me 

Burn like a straw man 

Burn like a straw man 

Burn 

I'm afraid 

I'm very afraid 

Burn like a straw man 

Burn like a straw man 

Burn 

Understand 

Do you stand under me 

Burn like a straw man 

Burn like a straw man 

Burn
