lyrics

Hey!
What do you know?
Our home is burning down,
Our home is burning down now and
Hey!
What do you know?
The seeds are planted now,
The seeds are in the ground and

You
Must be a sculptor, must be a sculptor and
You
Must be a sculpture, must be a sculpture too
Please just don't miss your cue

Hey!
What do you know?
Our home burnt to the ground
The soils fertile now and
Hey!
What do you know?
No, really, what do you know? and

You
Have to decide
Are you a tourist? or a terrorist? and
You
Have to decide
Are you surrounded by your buddies?
Or a body of collective lies? and
You
Must be a treat to them
Must be a treat to you, and
You
Must be a threat to them
Must be a threat to you
If we're gonna make it through
