First they came for the journalists
Then they came for the relevant artists
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
