Burn It Down

Am                         
Down in a village where most 
   F
residents were poor
   C                               
An old man had a factory that folks
 E
 called "The Killing Floor"
   Am                              
He was a surly master and though 
  F
his workers all had wives
     C                         
He'd work them within inches of 
       E
their lives!

[Pre-Chorus]

     F                             
They all were sick and tired of 
  Am
this stuff
    F                          
The men decided that they'd had 
 E
enough

[Chorus]

Am       G         F  E
We won't take this anymore!
Am        G          F       E
Not gonna die on The Killing Floor
Am       G       F        E
He won't work us into the ground
     F                E
It's time to strike a match and burn
 it down...

Am                             F
They waited for the old man to head 
home for the night
     C                            
Then muscled in with kerosene and 
E
lanterns to ignite
     Am                        
They took one final look at all 
       F
these monsterous machines
     C                       
Then lit the match that would 
               E
fulfill their dreams

[Pre-Chorus]

F                    Am
It was a blazing jubilee
     F                             
They felt these flames had set 
          E
these workers free

[Chorus]

Am       G         F  E
We won't take this anymore!
Am        G          F       E
Not gonna die on The Killing Floor
Am       G       F        E
He won't work us into the ground
     F                E
It's time to strike a match and burn
 it down...

[Verse]

Am                               
As the workers danced around the 
F
fire having fun
    C                              
The old man pulled up terrified and
  E
 screamed "What have you done?!"
      Am                        
"This factory was the only thing 
      F
that kept us all alive!
C                                 
Now you've gone and blown us all 
   E
sky high!"

[Pre-Chorus]

F                            Am
The factory was above an oil lake
    F                              
But all too late they realized 
     E
their mistake

[Chorus]

Am          G       F  E
We wouldn't take it anymore!
Am           G          F       
Didn't wanna die on The Killing 
E
Floor
Am     G        F             E
But we drove ourselves to the ground
F                   E               
            Am G F E x 3
When we struck that match and burned
 it down...
Am       G       F      E       
Why'd we have to go and burn it 
Am
down?!
