She said 
I lost my best friend last week at school 
He got shot 
Someone thought that he was part of something that 
He was not 
Now I'm watching all the cheerleaders show just how sad they are 
When my friend used to come 'round 
They used to laugh and egg his car 
Now I'm gonna do my part as a concerned citizen 
I think we should burn the school down 
And start again 

Burn it 
'Till there's nothing left 
Burn it 
Just like all the rest 
Burn it 
Clear up all this mess 
Burn it down 

Education for the nation 
Kids retaliate on each station 
Expectation, violation 
Pressure increased in each generation 
Burn the school down 
Burn the school down 
Burn the school down, she said 
Burn the school down 
Burn the school down 
Burn the school down, start again 

'Cause now what I want to know 
Will the eyes inside the back of your mind let it go? 
Now all I want to know 
Will the eyes inside the back of your mind let it go? 

She says 
I want to feel more comfort in my own skin 
But everyone around me makes me feel like 
I'm worth less than them 
Burn the school down 
Burn the school down 
Burn the school down, she said 
Burn the school down 
Burn the school down 
Burn the school down, start again 

Burn it 
'Till there's nothing left 
Burn it 
Just like all the rest 
Burn it 
Clear up all this mess 
Burn it down 

'Cause now what I want to know 
Will the eyes inside the back of your mind let it go? 
Now all I want to know 
Will the eyes inside the back of your mind let it go? 
Now all I want to know 
Will the eyes inside the back of your mind let it go? 
Now all I want to know 
Will the eyes inside the back of your mind let it go? 

Burn the school down 
Burn the school down 
Burn the school down, right? 
Burn the school down 
Burn the school down 
Burn the school down, right? 
Burn the school down 
Burn the school down 
Burn the school down, right? 
Burn the school down 
Burn the school down 
Burn the school down, right 

Burn it 
'Till there's nothing left 
Burn it 
Just like all the rest 
Burn it 
Clear up all this mess 
Burn it down 

'Cause now what I want to know 
Will the eyes inside the back of your mind let it go? 
Now all I want to know 
Will the eyes inside the back of your mind let it go? 
Now all I want to know 
Will the eyes inside the back of your mind let it go? 
Now all I want to know 
Will the eyes inside the back of your mind let it go? 
Now all I want to know 
Now all I want to know 
Now all I want to know 
Now all I want to know
