Lyrics

Building a bonfire, stacking it higher and higher
Packing the pyre with acts of profiteers and liars
Warming our hands as the 20th century burns
The hypocrites are gonna get their just desserts
From that time that there were riots at the lycée
To P-52 raids, to artists going missing
From naive students, Paris underground movement
Standing on the corner spouting Marxist improvement
Capitalist delusion, colonial confusion
Blood of the students faced with Yankee collusion
From idealists with heads buried in Das Kapital
To cruel beasts hell-bent on burning down the capital
First to concede, no guts and no integrity
Eating hawk cuisine as people died in the fields
While they're purging intellectuals, he's saving his own
And returning exiles find they're not safe at home, but
We will survive, one by one, the devils are gone
Ty Toy's song has haunted us for too long
Light of a new dawn, it's our time
We find the strength to move on, and that's why
We will survive, one by one, the devils are gone
Ty Toy's song has haunted us for too long
Light of a new dawn, it's our time
We find the strength to move on, and that's why
Life catches up when human justice fails
The mighty become frail, returned as a snail
Or something even lower than that
Know that an act with no observer is still a fact
There's trees falling each morning
Without you is still a blessing
We're forward looking, 'cause you can't kill the essence
Suppression? A cop-out, you lost now
Took a long time, but the seeds are blossoming
So watch out
Stack in a cabinet, Ty Toy is adamant
The UN's getting mad as shit, but can't do shit
They're just pawns in a cold war, safe behind an ornate door
Should have been left all alone on a stone floor
But no more, the time for justice never ends
Tyrants and the tide of time are rarely ever friends
To never bend is better than the alternative
No mercy for the murderers, but yo, we live and let live
We will survive, one by one, the devils are gone
Ty Toy's song has haunted us for too long
Light of a new dawn, it's our time
We find the strength to move on, and that's why
We will survive, one by one, the devils are gone
Ty Toy's song has haunted us for too long
Light of a new dawn, it's our time
We find the strength to move on, and that's why
