Burn It Down Lyrics - Sex, Drugs And Self Control - John Reuben

Burn it down, build it back 

It's bound to crash 

Stand back, watch it collapse 

Let's start from scratch 

My big brother's hip with a pager

Shaved my face warm water dull blade 

Peach fuzz black becoming of age 

Formed an opinion joined in the conversation 

Think on your own why you still got the motivation 

Smell it on our breath 

Young-ins want to have fun 

Package of cinnamon gum

Harass rednecks, bump the cops 

Down by the creek 

Philosophical potheads 

Just say no, just a guess 

Had the opposite effect 

We made plans to be genius nomads 

Put a spare pair of boxer shorts in my book bag 

Burn it down, build it back 

It's bound to crash 

Stand back, watch it collapse 

Let's start from scratch 

Found God called him friend 

My plans changed again 

Went crazy lost my mind 

Felt peace in desperate times 

Convinced I'm not confused 

Followed the truth without proof 

Went looking for absolutes

Package of matches 

Happy accidents 

Dancing on ashes in the basement when the roof caves in 

Starting over gaining closure 

This is not the end 

But the beginning of something better 

Let's pretend 

Burn it down, build it back 

It's bound to crash 

Stand back, watch it collapse 

Let's start from scratch
