Wake up in the morning in the corner on the street Haven't got the money to buy anything to eat You could teach a lesson but I'm not willing to learn And I take too much for granted But it's none of my concern Oh oh Burning sugar Burning paper Burning candles Burn old friends Burning sugar Burning paper Burning candles Burn old friends I need a solution but there is no remedy We avoid the question cause the answer's out of reach They will feed you dirt and wash your face until it shines But I'm tired of the taste and there is still blood in my eyes Oh oh Burning sugar Burning paper Burning candles Burn old friends Burning sugar Burning paper Burning candles Burn old friends People 'round the border born and dying in their sleep We need not but get respect and passion, love, and empathy Peace around the border still a possibility But no one cares enough to try it Guess it wasn't meant to be Oh oh Burning sugar Burning paper Burning candles Burn old friends Burning sugar Burning paper Burning candles Burn old friends
