Burning down de Rem

(berry/buck/mills/stipe)

From the back of my neck, oh, oh, oh
wired a glass jaw, oh, oh
plantation burning your boat is coming in
strum your jew's-harp, you're reeking gin

running water in a sinking boat
going under but they've got your goat
burning down - my hands are tied my feet are bound
burning down - can't you see that my hands are bound
Johnny mike is reading in the yard
his story's timely, oh, oh, oh
what river is it anyway, radio
not in a boat, in your ear
(repeat chorus)
You pick your island in the sun
take your island off he's got a gun
burning down - my hands are tied my feet are bound
burning down - can't you see that my hands are bound
He's cooking in the woods, a brush fire in your neck
feeling mighty mighty, oh, oh, oh
you can pick your island in the sun
take your island off he's got a gun
(repeat chorus)
