lyrics

Burn it down Obadiah
This shotgun shack is keepin' you down
And I'm comin' around
Put down the jambalaya
With flood and flame we'll purify
Bake up some humble pie

Ain't got time for revolution
Ain't had luck with the common man
All I know is we got to do it while we can
So get up Obadiah, and burn it like a man
Obadiah, Obadiah burn it like a man

Never got what I prayed for
But now you're speaking in my ear
With a gospel of fear

I've made my surrender
Your justice rendered in my hand
Strike up the band

Ain't got time for revolution
Ain't had luck with the common man
All I know is we got to do it while we can
So wake up Obadiah, and burn it like a man
Obadiah, Obadiah burn it like a man

Burn it down burn it down now
Burn it down burn it down now........

Burn it down Obadiah
Your time has come I'm callin' you
The spirit cometh through

Strike the match to the fire
In righteousness release the pain
And we'll do it again

Ain't got time for revolution
Ain't had luck with the common man
All I know is we got to do it while we can
So wake up Obadiah, and burn it like a man
Obadiah, Obadiah burn it like a man

Obadiah, Obadiah burn it like a man
Obadiah, Obadiah burn it like a man
