This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Billy is a shade tree mechanic
He'd never think to charge his friends
What he don't know about a car or a truck
He could put on the head of a pin
Ruby is his one and only
They've been married since she turned eighteen
Being Billy's wife and the mother of his kids
Is all she ever wanted to be
And they don't need a whole lot of money
They get by on what Billy earns
They just need to spend a whole lot of time together
They've got love to burn
Love to burn
More than enough to set the world on fire
And make it turn
No matter how they try
They'll never use it up
They got love to burn
Billy bought an old air streamed trailer
Hitched it to their pick-up truck
Said come on Ruby, let's go somewhere
Now that the kids are grown up
Ruby said with a smile let's get rolling
'Cause if there's one thing we've learned
Gonna take all the time we've got left together
We've got love to burn
Love to burn
More than enough to set the world on fire
And make it turn
No matter how they try
They'll never use it up
They got love to burn
The winds of time can't put out the flame
It still burns in their hearts
Like it has from the start
Love to burn
More than enough to set the world on fire
And make it turn
No matter how they try
They'll never use it up
They got love to burn
Love to burn
He'd never think to charge his friends
What he don't know about a car or a truck
He could put on the head of a pin
Ruby is his one and only
They've been married since she turned eighteen
Being Billy's wife and the mother of his kids
Is all she ever wanted to be
And they don't need a whole lot of money
They get by on what Billy earns
They just need to spend a whole lot of time together
They've got love to burn
Love to burn
More than enough to set the world on fire
And make it turn
No matter how they try
They'll never use it up
They got love to burn
Billy bought an old air streamed trailer
Hitched it to their pick-up truck
Said come on Ruby, let's go somewhere
Now that the kids are grown up
Ruby said with a smile let's get rolling
'Cause if there's one thing we've learned
Gonna take all the time we've got left together
We've got love to burn
Love to burn
More than enough to set the world on fire
And make it turn
No matter how they try
They'll never use it up
They got love to burn
The winds of time can't put out the flame
It still burns in their hearts
Like it has from the start
Love to burn
More than enough to set the world on fire
And make it turn
No matter how they try
They'll never use it up
They got love to burn
Love to burn
