Burning Down
Kalik Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You dont know how hard it is!
To be pushed around everyday
You bring the mother of tears
I want this more than everything
We′ll stand together everyone
Now everybody say!
We're burning down the cigarettes
We′re burning down the cigarettes
We're burning down the cigs and we dont care
We're burning down the cigarettes
We′re burning down the cigarettes
We′re burning down the cigs and we dont care
Lets go out tonight and fight
Im doing this every night
Support the smokers life
We want this more than anything
Lets stand together everyone
Now everybody say!
We're burning down the cigarettes
We′re burning down the cigarettes
We're burning down the cigs and we dont care
We′re burning down the cigarettes
We're burning down the cigarettes
We′re burning down the cigs and we dont care
-Solo-
We're burning down the cigarettes
We're burning down the cigarettes
We′re burning down the cigs and we dont care
We′re burning down the cigarettes
We're burning down the cigarettes
We′re burning down the cigs and we dont care
We're burning down the cigarettes
We′re burning down the cigarettes
We're burning down the cigs and we dont care
We′re burning down the cigarettes




We're burning down the cigarettes
We're burning down the cigs and we dont care
