Junkyard - Rome is Burning

Dropped another bomb on the news today
I don't care its a half a world away
Families are scattered with no place to go
But it ain't me and it ain't no one i know
Outta sight outta mind
So the story goes, and it goes

Tear it all apart, pray for something better
Take it back to the start, 'cos Rome is burning again
Tear it all apart, rip it down together
Take it back to the start, 'cos Rome is burning, Rome is burning again

Every 4 years its the same ol' scheme
White collar crooks sell the American dream
Another kid got shot last night
Pulled him over for a broken light
If you don't know what's wrong
You can't know what's right

Tear it all apart, pray for something better
Take it back to the start, 'cos Rome is burning again
Tear it all apart, rip it down together
Take it back to the start, 'cos Rome is burning, Rome is burning again

Kids cant look you in the eye anymore
It's all about the social media score
You're feeling entitled, you're in for a shock
'Cos life ain't easy, it's as hard as a rock

Tear it all apart, pray for something better
Take it back to the start, 'cos Rome is burning again
Tear it all apart, rip it down together
Take it back to the start, 'cos Rome is burning, Rome is burning again
