Do you believe in God in heaven?   Do you believe or have you lost the faith?   Did you ever try getting blood from a stone?   No-one hears you scream when you're standing alone   Nothin' else to give, we're killin' ourselves to live   It's a crime and we're wasting time   All the young dudes with serious attitudes   It's a crime and we're wasting time   I want what's yours and you want what's mine   It's a crime and we're wasting time   Little of what is said makes sense inside my head   It's a crime and we're wasting time      Burning Down Paradise   Like taking matches and gasoline   And placing it in a child's hand   Burning Down Paradise   Is it too late? (Too late?)   Burn! Burning paradise!      Man with a gun talks about revolution   Do you really believe that is a solution?   Does it make you laugh when you hear them lying?   Do you cry like a child 'cuz you're scared of dying?   He's the king of the alley, his queen's the gutter cat   It's a crime and we're wasting time   Man bleeding in the rain, we ain't got time to see his pain   It's a crime and we're wasting time   There's a man with a grin, says he's free from sin   It's a crime and we're wasting time   We're sliding into mad. Man, I've had enough!   And we're wasting time      Burning Down Paradise   Like taking matches and gasoline   And placing it in a child's hand   Burning Down Paradise   Is it too late? (Too late?)   Burn! Burning paradise!
