[Verse 1:]
Hip shoot, make me feel bad
Here's the love, come and fill it with your motion
Wild eyed kids understand
When you're alone you're a river not an ocean
When the sun needs a sacrifice
She'll be there with a fool to offer up
Gotta make it to a paradise for our own survival
[Chorus: 2x]
Set fire to the books that you read
I wanna see 'em burning up
Let go of the dreams that you had
[Verse 2:]
Milk teeth, paint me in rags
Gimme soul from the rhythm of your beatings
Wild eyed kids understand
When you're alone nothing's easy to believe in
When it calls it'll come to you
It'll come when it's you that's calling up
When it falls it'll fall to you for your own survival
[Chorus: 2x]
Set fire to the books that you read
I wanna see 'em burning up
Let go of the dreams that you had
[Bridge:]
Overflowing futures
Dying in a distant dream
If only I could move ya
We could make it feel so real
And if we're killing all of our friends
To make another TV show
We know that holy rivers don't end
We've gotta let the fires grow
[Chorus: 2x]
Set fire to the books that you read
I wanna see 'em burning up
Let go of the dreams that you had
