lyrics

BURNING RECORDS

Down in the center of town
People came from miles around
We all watched as records were thrown on the fire

They can't get away with this
Tommy and Doug pleaded over the airwaves
Break or burn and ban their music
We aren't playing any of their records

“Vengeance” screamed the KKK
Bonfires organized in the south
A Beatles record nailed to a cross
And then set alight

Down in the center of town
People came from miles around
We all watched as records were thrown on the fire

I was one of the first there
I stood in disbelief
In the name of God a sermon evolved
On the popularity of Christ

Down in the center of town
People came from miles around
We all watched as records were thrown on the fire
Yeah, we all watched as records were thrown on the fire
