Hip shoot, make me feel bad
Here's the love, come and fill it with your motion
Wild eyed kids understand

When you're alone you're a river not an ocean
When the sun needs a sacrifice
She'll be there with a fool to offer up
Gotta make it to a paradise
For our own survival (own survival)

Set fire to the books that you read
I wanna see 'em burning up
Let go of the dreams that you had
Ooh ooh ooh
Set fire to the books that you read
I wanna see 'em burning up
Let go of the dreams that you had
Ooh ooh ooh
(Set fire to the books that you read)

Milk teeth, paint me in rags
Gimme soul from the rhythm of your beatings
Wild eyed kids understand
When you're alone nothings easy to believe in
When it calls it'll come to you
It'll come when it's you that's calling up
When it falls it'll fall to you
For your own survival (own survival)

Set fire to the books that you read
I wanna see 'em burning up
Let go of the dreams that you had
Ooh ooh ooh
Set fire to the books that you read
I wanna see 'em burning up
Let go of the dreams that you had
Ooh ooh ooh
Set fire to the books that you read
Set fire to the books that you read

Overflowing futures
Dying in a distant dream
If only I could move ya
We could make it feel so real
And if we're killing all of our friends
To make another tv show
Ya know that holy rivers don't end
We've gotta let the fire grow

Set fire to the books that you read
I wanna see 'em burning up
Let go of the dreams that you had
Ooh ooh ooh
Set fire to the books that you read
I wanna see 'em burning up
Let go of the dreams that you had
Ooh ooh ooh
Set fire to the books that you read
Set fire to the books that you read
Set fire to the books that you read
