I raised my voice
I had no choice
Anger is an energy
And you gave it to me
Standing on the roadway
Waiting for a train
Hoping things go my way
Then it starts to rain
And all you can do
Is talk some more about you
Repeat the words I say
Words keep getting in the way
Standing in a line
Waiting on my turn
And all you can do
Is say we should make it burn
Burn it down
Burn it down
Until there’s nothing left
Just a hole in the ground
Would that make you happy
Would it make you content
Erase what caused your anger
Until the embers spent
