New Ways To Set the World On Fire
War if fought by those who have firm ideas
By those who are inflexible
Those who have never lived on the streets
We stand up to set the world on fire
To make her think
To open her horizons
War is fought by those with dogmas
That encourage young women to wear black veils
Those who say we do not judge, but never stop
We stand up to set the world on fire
to burn those veils
To free the captives who did not realize a better way
War is fought by those who have never tried
New ways, new ideologies, new freedoms
Those who have been in chains since pre-birth.
We stand up to set the world on fire
To sing our homeless hymns
To cherish freedoms status quo will never understand.
