butcher babies - burn the straw man lyrics

[intro:]
burn the straw man
[x3]
light a match and watch him burn
burn the f-cking straw man
go!

[verse 1:]
now who is the victim, and what is the charge?
we’ve been stuck in this system for years
there’s a human being wanted at large
he’s a status code, a sh-t stain, a f-cking disease
let’s go!
we’re just legal friction
they make you up and take a name
a piece of paper gave you a life but they treat you like a thing
they have ways of distraction
they keep you entertained
keep watching don’t ask questions
reinforce the make believe

[pre-chorus:]
they’re watching me, they’re watching you
[x2]
they’re watching me, and they’re watching you

[chorus:]
be afraid, be very afraid
burn like a straw man
burn like a straw man
understand, do you stand under me?
burn like a straw man
burn like a straw man
burn!

[verse 2:]
i’m sick of following the leader
i’m sick of the shame
i’ve been sick from the cloud of smoke blinding this gaze
so put your left foot in and your right foot out and charge that mother f-cker
knock the straw man down
he has a million voices telling us lies
describing your fate to your face while scripting your demise
he uses fear as his favorite play while hiding his eyes
for the calm and innocent who wreak of surprise

[pre-chorus:]
they’re watching me, they’re watching you
[x2]
they’re watching me, and they’re watching you

[chorus:]
be afraid, be very afraid
burn like a straw man
burn like a straw man
understand, do you stand under me?
burn like a straw man
burn like a straw man
i’m afraid, i’m very afraid
burn like a straw man
burn like a straw man
understand, do you stand under me?
burn like a straw man
burn like a straw man
burn!

[bridge:]
the straw man
he falls over
burn the straw man
he burns so f-cking hot

light a match, watch him burn
put your hand up, take a turn
light a match, and watch him burn
put your hand up, take a turn
