Burn it Down demo

I sat in the park with the sun at my back My hair all in ringlets, my hands in my lap Watching my birthday cake melt I'd learned to be patient and wait with a smile Behave like A princess, ignore all the while The ache for the chocolate I smelled Daddy'd arrive soon and we'd celebrate It wasn't unusual for him to be late But he did not make it at last Seven years old and I didn't know why He lived somewhere else and we met on the sly But that day I entered his past [Chorus] Burn it down, burn it down I want to smash Daddy's crown Tear his little empire apart Burn it down, burn it down Spread the ashes around Blow every dream from his heart Every July we'd return to our park I'd insist that we wait for the cake until dark Then I'd blow out my candles at last I never told mother the secret desire I held in my heart as I blew out the fire And my ache became ever more vast I was fifteen when they held a parade There he marched at the front but his eyes were afraid When I called out and started to run His wife and their kids marched close to his side I spun away seeking somewhere to hide Because I'm the same age as his son [Chorus] Burn it down, burn it down I'm gonna knock off his crown Tear his little empire apart Burn it down, burn it down Spread the ashes around Blow every dream from his heart Everyone thinks that my daddy's a saint I'm living proof to the world that he ain't But he thinks I'm trained to behave of wishing burned into my soul The training's gone quiet, I'm digging a hole For his dreams, yeah I'm digging their grave [Chorus] Burn it down, burn it down Help me smash Daddy's crown Tear his little empire apart Burn it down, burn it down Spread the ashes around Blow every dream from his heart Burn it down, burn it down Blow every dream from his heart
