Paris is burning a burden to pay
The current will seize you for running away
The swine over sewers can't take all the blame
Because blame falls squarely on the process of shame
Delusions of rapture delight in the flame
Is all that's required to take to this game
A hatred of structure compounds to the pain
Of the drip drip mattress that's a victim of rain
Hey!
Paris is burning what a delight
As the sonorous sirens make a pass at the night
A cause lost in conflict replaces a rite
Of a blasphemed deity forbidden from sight
Derisions to power defense of a fight
Is a blameless endeavor to the scriptures of might
Paris is burning fall of 2005
My car is a chassis so now I can't drive
Hey!
Paris is burning a bullet to take
At the foot of an altar to a lost prophet's wake
Machiavelli cries for justice's sake
Because the ends justify the cops to burn at the stake
Delusions of rapture delight in the flame
Is all that's required to take to this game
The current will seize you for running away
Because blame falls squarely on the process of shame
