Burning Down

[Verse 1]
From the back of my neck, oh, oh, oh
Wired a glass jaw, oh, oh
Plantation burning, your boat is coming in
Strum your jew's harp, you're reeking gin

[Pre-Chorus]
Running water in a sinking boat
Going under, but they've got your goat

[Chorus]
Burning down
My hands are tied, my feet are bound
Burning down
Can't you see that my hands are bound?

[Verse 2]
Johnny Mike is reading in the yard
His story's timely, oh oh oh
What river is it anyway, radio
Not in a boat, in your ear

[Pre-Chorus]
Running water in a sinking boat
Going under, but they've got your goat

[Chorus]
Burning down
My hands are tied, my feet are bound
Burning down
Can't you see that my hands are bound?

[Bridge]
You pick your island in the sun
Take your island off he's got a gun

[Chorus]
Burning down
My hands are tied, my feet are bound
Burning down
Can't you see that my hands are bound?

[Verse 3]
He's cooking in the woods, a brush fire in your neck
Feeling mighty mighty, oh, oh, oh
You can pick your island in the sun
Take your island off, he's got a gun

[Pre-Chorus]
Running water in a sinking boat
Going under, but they've got your goat

[Chorus]
Burning down
My hands are tied, my feet are bound
Burning down
Can't you see that my hands are bound?
