Burn The House Down Lyrics

Used to keep it cool
Used to be a fool
All about the bounce in my step
Watch it on the news
Whatcha gonna do?
I could hit refresh and forget
Used to keep it cool
Should I keep it light?
Stay out of the fight?
No one's gonna listen to...

   I believe burn the house down represents drugs. If you listen closely you will notice, that they don't truly mean "burning" a house, but instead getting high. When they say "Should I keep it light?" They most likely mean how much of a dose should they use. It does a have a bit to do with politics though. When they say "All about the bounce in my step
   Watch it on the news
   Whatcha gonna do?
   I could hit refresh and forget" This shows a bit of the political side, showing that we shouldn't follow blindly. But it also has a bit to do with getting high, due to it's geared towards the younger generation (the drugies).

   This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway

   I think the line "Way up way up we go" represents being more positive and going up with motivation and positivity.

   I think it is about how the world is going crazy and people are doing crazy things like burning things. I have a few more ideas but that is one of them.
   
   Another idea is that is about they think some thing is wrong but they do not want to say it is wrong because people will not like them.
   
   Another idea is that they think some one thinks something else and they are going to find it even if they have to do something Jurassic like burning there house down.
