Lyrics

Ivory Towers

O, my muse,
Don’t you fall you their clever rouse,
Whether you win or lose,
It’s down to whatever you choose,
And all those suckers are fools,
Thinking that they can break,
And bend all those rules,
But here’s the exclusive news,
We’re gonna leave all those suckers,
Black and bruised,
(When we start the fires)

So, let’s start some fires,
To burn down these Ivory Towers,
Because no flowers,
Reach the heights of Ivory Towers,

And liven’ for yourself,
You’ll never find that self-fulfilling wealth,
And messing with my baby,
Is detrimental to your health,
And I know what transpires,
For those filthy, fucking liars,
And those that conspire,
Will be crushed by their collapsing empires,
(When we bring the fires)

So, let's start some fires,
To burn down these Ivory Towers,
Because no flowers,
Reach the heights of Ivory Towers,
And we have struck the hour,
To remind them who’s got the power,
And we won’t just stay in line,
Keep our nose on to the grind,

And shits going to blow like a geyser,
When everybody catches on and gets a little wiser,
And all those misers,
Will be leaping from their sky risers,

I understand why you got your head in the sand,
But it’s hard make a mountain,
When you’re face deep inside a canyon,
And the more you make,
Equals the more they take,
The more they try to break you and rape you,
And have the nerve to call it a break through,

So, let's start some fires,
To burn down these Ivory Towers,
Because no flowers,
Reach the heights of Ivory Towers,
And we have struck the hour,
To remind them who’s got the power,
And we won’t just stay in line,
Keep our nose on to the grind,
