Burn The House Down

Jonas & The Massive Attraction

Transposer:

[Verse 1] I met a sketchy little woman and she walked a crooked line She took a page from the Bible turnin’ water into wine She talked about a spirit said she had a crystal ball Even spoke with the devil made a telephone call [Pre-Chorus] With her hocus pokus oil and brews Everything she did was front page news The people all came on a Saturday night We’ll run her out of town and if she puts up a fight [Chorus] Then we’ll burn the house down Burn the house down and throw away the key [Verse 2] So the bishop takes his queen across a check board square Took a rose from her garden and a lock from her hair He talked some mambo jumbo ’bout the moon and stars Said he’s walkin’ on the water when he’s drivin’ his car [Pre-Chorus] Another Saturday night and the newspapers read The holy man died he was smokin’ in bed [Chorus] Burn the house down (burn burn) Burn the house down (burn burn) Burn it into the ground (burn burn) Burn the house down and throw away the key [Solo] | | | | | | | | | | [Verse 3] So when you’re sleepin’ all alone and there’s a knock on your door And you’re on your knees prayin’ ’cause your like is a war Say a Hail Mary as runnin’ out of town And thank the Lord you’re living as they burn your house down [Chorus] Burn the house down (burn burn) Burn the house down (burn burn) Burn it to the ground (burn burn) Burn the house down and throw away the key [Solo] | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | [Verse 4] I met a sketchy little woman and she walked a crooked line She took a page from the Bible turnin’ water into wine She talked about a spirit said she had a crystal ball Even spoke with the devil made a telephone call [Chorus] Burn the house down (burn burn) Burn the house down (burn burn) Burn it to the ground (burn burn) Burn the house down and throw away the key Burn the house down (burn burn) Burn the house down (burn burn) Burn it into the ground (burn burn) Burn the house down burn burn burn [Outro] Burn the house down and throw away the key

Cette chanson raconte l'histoire d'une femme intrigante qui semble mêler mysticisme et manipulation, attirant l'attention d'une communauté qui la perçoit comme une menace. Au fil des couplets, on découvre des éléments de tension avec des figures d'autorité, comme un évêque, et des rituels qui semblent défier les normes établies. L'idée de brûler la maison symbolise une sorte de purification, une mise à l'écart de ce qui est perçu comme maléfique ou perturbateur. Dans un contexte où la société lutte avec des croyances en tensions, la chanson décrit des scènes de rébellion face à l'autorité et les croyances traditionnelles, pour finalement se retrouver confronté à ses propres idées et peurs. Les paroles invitent à réfléchir sur la dualité entre le bien et le mal, tout en évoquant une atmosphère de mystère et de danger.
