Farenheit 451 (Bonus track - Live) Lyrics

Guy Montag is a fireman who

Instead of putting out fires

Ignites them

In a world

Where nature's ignored

And everybody is equalized

Riveted to television

They're on interactive stupor

Mechanical hounds are set to trace

Readers and thinkers' steps

Clarisse's humanistic touch

Leads Montag to reflection

His outlook on life is tested

"Why do I burn books"

Experiencing dissatisfying facts

The fireman starts to retreat

The old lady sets ablaze herself

He can't bear it this deep

Literature burning

Fahrenheit 451

Clean, quick, by fire

Restriction, burn

Every one made equal

A book is a loaded gun

Go breach man's minds

Salamanders... Burn!

Vehemently Beatty states his point

On why literature isn't important

Books are there just to contradict

And emphasize the authors' truths

Their words just ring of vanity

Through lines you find nothing

Readers assume superiority

And philosophy is fashion

The salamander arrived to erase

Montag's need to read

Through the same fire the chief endorsed

He gets burned up to a crisp

A new hound has been put on his trail

He escapes to resurrection

The book people now he meets

While the city is in flames

Literature burning

Fahrenheit 451

Clean, quick, by fire

Restriction, burn

Every one made equal

A book is a loaded gun

Go breach man's minds

Salamanders... Burn!
