The sun's amber light ignites the day anew
 As a child sits and wonders what to do
 You see, the world is changing outside, but his home stands still
 With this mindset in place, each day becomes a thrill
 Mom and Dad's time would revolutionize history
 Making this mindset more of a mystery
 And now their teachings and their actions define behavior
 Discounting every single person that has labored
 Every morning he faces the forces that make him try
 Knowing the silence and force only hides the lies
 'Cause he is one of the chosen, child of the master race
 And must live life at the family's own pace
 And now he stands alone at recess, and prays that God
 Will define the lines and leave the lesser man in pieces
 We ask why does this social structure sag
 They say pledge American but worship the rebel flag
 Let it burn down
 Let it burn down to the ground
 Let it burn down
 Let it burn down to the ground
 It doesn't represent me
 (If I leave here tomorrow)
 Sweet, not sour, spiteful thoughts of you devour
 Until the moment of confrontation
 In hopes of alleviation, a child's demonstration
 of open segregation
 Although you like to think this taboo
 this as any other teaching remains true
 And to some it's absolutely relevant, that time is spent
 Teaching the next generation the rebel flag is heaven sent
 And with this comes a certain loyalty
 And the hierarchy of demise, like Hitler becomes royalty
 Looked up to as a hero for all times
 Breeding the ignorance with the lack of line to define
 What is real, true and right
 blurring the lines of progress when 20/20's hindsight
 The flag is a visual for them that revel in false might
 With crosses set on the lawn just to ignite
 Let it burn down
 Let it burn down to the ground
