First they came for the journalists [LINK TO SONG]

Then they came for the relevant artists [LINK TO VIDEO]

Then they came for the teachers next

Now they are coming for your songs and texts

Orwell and Bradbury warned of this

Now their books are on the governors' lists

If you dare say words like "black" or "gay"

Soon they will be coming to lock you away

If they ban your thoughts and words

What they do is banish you

Anywhere that books are burned

Soon they will burn people too

Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire!

Red hats and right hands aloft in fear

The Paper Eagles want no one to hear

The truth about them and their history

Misleading those without the memory

If they ban your thoughts and words

What they do is banish you

Anywhere that books are burned

Soon they will burn people too

Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire!

They would limit what you learn

And deny six million Jews

Death and slavery obscured

So they can burn us anew

If they ban your thoughts and words

What they do is banish you

Anywhere that books are burned

Soon they will burn people too

Anywhere that books are burned

Soon they will burn people too

Anywhere that books are burned

Soon they will burn people too
