Paul McCartney - burn down the mission

노래는 주로 고난에 처한 이들이 생존을 위해 부유한 자들의 권력에 맞서 싸워야 함을 강조하며, 불타는 성역을 통해 희망을 찾으려는 의지를 표현한다
가족과 함께 힘을 모아 강력한 행동을 촉구하며, 절실한 생존의 필요성을 이야기한다

You tell me there's an angel in your tree
Did he say he'd come to call on me
For things are getting desperate in our home
Living in the parish of the restless folks I know
Everybody now bring your family down to the riverside
Look to the east to see where the fat stock hide
Behind four walls of stone the rich man sleeps
It's time we put the flame torch to their keep
Burn down the mission
If we're gonna stay alive
Watch the black smoke fly to heaven
See the red flame light the sky
Burn down the mission
Burn it down to stay alive
It's our only chance of living
Take all you need to live inside
Deep in the woods the squirrels are out today
My wife cried when they came to take me away
But what more could I do just to keep her warm
Than burn burn burn burn down the mission walls
Now everybody bring your family down to the riverside
Look to the east to see where the fat stock hide
Behind four walls of stone the rich man sleeps
It's time we put the flame torch to their keep
