《Books Are Burning (Live On ’The Late Show’)》歌词

[00:00:08] Books are burning

[00:00:17] In the main square and I saw there

[00:00:25] The first eating the text

[00:00:28] Books are burning

[00:00:31] In the still air

[00:00:35] And you know where they burn books People are next

[00:00:46] I believe the printed word should be forgiven

[00:00:53] Doesn't matter what it said

[00:01:00] Wisdom hotline from the dead back to the living

[00:01:07] Key to the larder for your heart and head

[00:01:18] Books are burning

[00:01:21] In our own town watch us turn round

[00:01:28] And cast our glances elsewhere

[00:01:32] Books are burning

[00:01:36] In the playground

[00:01:39] Smell of burnt book is not unlike human hair

[00:01:50] I believe the printed word is more than sacred

[00:01:57] Beyond the gauge of good or bad

[00:02:04] The human right to let your soul fly free and naked

[00:02:11] Above the violence of the fearful and sad

[00:02:24] The church of matches

[00:02:31] Anoints in ignorance with gasoline

[00:02:39] The church of matches

[00:02:45] Grows fat by breathing in the smoke of dreams

[00:02:53] It's quite obscene

[00:02:56] Books are burning

[00:02:59] More each day now and I pray now

[00:03:06] You boys will tire of these games

[00:03:10] Books are burning

[00:03:13] I hope somehow this will allow

[00:03:20] A phoenix up from the flames
