  • 作曲 : Andrew Partridge
    Books are burning
    In the main square, and I saw there
    The fire eating the text
    Books are burning
    In the still air
    And you know where they burn books
    People are next
    I believe the printed word should be forgiven
    Doesn't matter what it said
    Wisdom hotline from the dead back to the living
    Key to the larder for your heart and head
    Books are burning
    In our own town,
    watch us turn 'round
    And cast our glances elsewhere
    Books are burning
    In the playground
    Smell of burnt book is not unlike human hair
    I believe the printed word is more than sacred
    Beyond the gauge of good or bad
    The human right to let your soul fly free and naked
    Above the violence of the fearful and sad
    The church of matches
    Anoints in ignorance with gasoline
    The church of matches
    Grows fat by breathing in the smoke of dreams
    It's quite obscene
    Books are burning
    More each day now,
    and I pray now
    You boys will tire of these games
    Books are burning
    I hope somehow,
    this will allow
    A phoenix up from the flames
