lyrics

Friday morning and there’s work to be done
Tunisian air cut with winter sun
Spoiled system starts to show its cracks
Blown apart with a single match

A daily debt that has to be paid
Official woman take your tools away
A single voice that won’t be ignored
Gave rise to a million swords

The last straw that says there’s no turning back
Borders are down, people speak without fear
Angry masses sing we aint backing down
Technology is found sweeping across the airwaves
Just like a Man On Fire

Now the desert burns with oil and blood
Across the region, a thousand year flood
Sinks the government and breaks the mold
A generation that will never be sold

The last straw that says there’s no turning back
Borders are down, people speak without fear
Angry masses sing we aint backing down
Technology is found sweeping across the airwaves
Just like a Man On Fire

The last straw that says there’s no turning back
Leaders are down, people speak without fear
More momentum builds with each passing day
Rebels gain ground, they control the airwaves
Just like a Man On Fire
