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.
