Annotationen

Es wird am Radio gedreht, es kommt eine Station, die Smoke on the Water von Deep Purple spielt, dann eine, bei der Holidays In The Sun von den Sex Pistols läuft, dann eine mit Ratrace von den Specials. Dann folgt eine Art Pregame-Ritual der Band, das im Spruch «For God's sake, burn it down!» endet.
Burn it Down war der erste Track des wunderbaren Searching for the Young Soul Rebels Album und war die neu eingespielte Version einer frühen Single der Band, die Dance Stance hiess.

Lyrics

I'll only ask you once more You only want to believe This man is looking for someone to hold him down He doesn't quite ever understand the meaning Never heard about, can't think about Oscar Wilde and Brendan Behan Sean O'Casey, George Bernard Shaw Samuel Beckett, Eugene O'Neill, Edna O'Brien and Lawrence Stern I'll only ask you once more It must be so hard to see This man is waiting for someone to hold him down He doesn't quite fully understand the meaning Never heard about, won't think about Oscar Wilde and Brendan Behan Sean O'Casey, George Bernard Shaw Samuel Beckett, Eugene O'Neill, Edna O'Brien and Lawrence Stern Sean Kavanaugh and Sean McCann Benedict Keilly, Jimmy Hiney Frank O'Connor and Catherine Rhine Shut it You don't understand it Shut it That's not the way I planned it Shut your fucking mouth 'til you know the truth
