Dave Alvin - Barn Burning lyrics

There's a barn burning, baby There's a barn burning, baby No, I can't say who's to blame There's a barn burning, baby There's a barn burning, baby No, I can't say who's to blame No one knows who did it, baby And you'd best not ask my name Better close your windows Better close your windows Better stay right in your bed Better close your windows Better close your windows Lock your doors, and stay in bed 'Cause there's a barn burning, baby And they say somebody's dead There's an evil in this land Good man's in prison Good man's in prison And a bad man runs free Good man's in prison Good man's in prison And a bad man runs free There's a barn burning, baby Best not say you spoke to me 'Cause there's an evil in this land The rich get richer The rich get richer And the poor, they just stay poor The rich get richer The rich get richer And the poor, they just stay poor Oh, there's a barn burning, baby Guess you won't see me no more Oh, there's an evil in this land Yes, there's an evil in this land There's a barn burning, baby There's a barn burning, baby No, I can't say who's to blame
