Burning All Around
They burnt out all cities
Rained down on liberty
Falsified the truth with lies
And deceived our dignity
They mispaint patriotism with their brand of evil and fear
You can say just what you like
But don't you say it here!
The jester laughs his forlorn tale
A broken land that's up for sale
And all around
They're burning all around
They looted all the villages
They levelled all the towns
Hung a sign “what's yours is mine!”
And nowhere’s glory bound
They brainwashed their disciples
Taking each one for a ride
Strapped death to their backs
And God right by their side!
The minstrel plucks a fateless song about an ideal that's gone wrong
And all around
They're burning all around
The deluged drifting nomads upon the foothill peeks
Stare down towards the crusading battle on the streets
Now the TV news and cameras were happy with what they saw
Hung a sign “hope all is fine”
We're off to the next world war!
The fiddler strokes a melody
Outside they're coming for you and me
And all around
They're burning all around

When most of this was recorded I was a kid in the new wave era, discovering The Beatles and then Mod. All I Gotta Do especially, with its Beatles influence, reminds me of that time. OldMod67

This L.P. came out the year I left school and I bought this as a 16 year old Mod kid. A real pleasure and an album I've not stopped listening to ever since. This copy was a gift for my son, who'd borrowed mine and had to have a copy for himself. Great lyrics and perfect melodies, which have always put Squire above many other bands as far as I'm concerned. OldMod67
