Burning Down Paradise

[Boulton/Marsh/Wiggins]
 Do you believe in God in heaven
 Do you believe or have you lost the faith
 Did you ever try getting blood from a stone
 No-one hears you screaming when you're standing alone
 Nothin' else to give, we're killin' ourselves to live
 It's a crime and we're wasting time
 All the young dudes with serious attitudes
 It's a crime and we're wasting time
 I want what's yours and you want what's mine
 It's a crime and we're wasting time
 Little of what is said makes sense in my head
 It's a crime and we're wasting time
 Burning down paradise
 Like taking matches and gasoline
 And placing it in a child's hand
 Burning down paradise
 Is it too late (too late)
 Burn...
 We're burning paradise
 Man with a gun talks about revolution
 Do you really believe that it's a solution
 Does it make you laugh when you hear them lying
 Do you cry like a child 'cos you're scared of dying
 He's the king of the alley, his queen's the gutter cat
 It's a crime and we're wasting time
 Man bleeding in the rain we ain't got time to feel his pain
 It's a crime and we're wasting time
 There's a man with a grin says he's free from sin
 It's a crime and we're wasting time
 We're sliding into mud... man I've had enough
 And we're wasting time
