Books Lyrics
Hip shoot and make me feel bad
?
Wild eyed kids understand
When you're alone, you're a river not an ocean
When the sun needs a sacrifice
You should be there with the food to offer up
Gotta make it to a paradise
For our own survival, own survival
Set fire to the books that you read
I wanna see you burn it up
Let go of the dreams that you had
Set fire to the books that you read
I wanna see you burn it up
Let go of the dreams that you had
?
?
Wild kids understand
When you're alone, nothing is easy to believe in
When a cause will come to you
It will come when it's you that's callin' up
When it falls it will fall to you
For your own survival, own survival
Set fire to the books that you read
I wanna see you burn it up
Let go of the dreams that you had
Set fire to the books that you read
I wanna see you burn it up
Let go of the dreams that you had
Set fire to the books that you read
Set fire to the books that you read
?
?
If only I could move you
We could make it feel so real
And if I'm killing all my friends
To make another TV show
We know the holy rivers don't end
We gotta let the fire grow
Set fire to the books that you read
I wanna see you burn it up
Let go of the dreams that you had
Oh, oh oh
Set fire to the books that you read
I wanna see you burn it up
Let go of the dreams that you had
Oh, oh oh
Set fire to the books that you read
Set fire to the books that you read
Set fire to the books that you read
?
Wild eyed kids understand
When you're alone, you're a river not an ocean

I wanna see you burn it up
Let go of the dreams that you had
Set fire to the books that you read

Oh, oh oh
I wanna see you burn it up
Let go of the dreams that you had
Oh, oh oh
Set fire to the books that you read
Set fire to the books that you read
