ARSONISTS
music and lyrics by Jonathan Dorsey

Once I was a student in Vienna
And twice upon a time they called me "Joe"
But I've been gone and now I'm back among you
You know only what I let you know

Take these words and throw them away
Take these books and set 'em on fire
I will teach you what you must learn
How to smile, while freedom burns

Let me put this label on your record
Let's remove this one book from the shelf
Bit by bit and you won't even notice
But you're no longer thinking for yourself

Long ago you fought the battle
Proclaimed your freedom and your name
Wrote it in your silly paper
Useless fodder for the flame

Freedom to decide is inconvenient
So I'll just take the choice away from you
You think you're free to make your own decisions
But nothing could be further from the truth
