[Verse 1]
I can understand frustration
Joined by agitation
Creates aggravation
Led by a congregation

[Chorus]
But don't burn, baby, burn
You just learn, baby, learn
Don't burn, baby, burn
You just learn, baby

[Verse 2]
I can understand confusion, hey
Creates bad illusion
Sometime the wrong one losin'
Everybody abusin'

[Chorus]
But don't burn, baby, burn
You just learn, baby, learn
Don't burn, baby, burn
You just learn, baby, baby

[Bridge]
Don't burn, baby, burn, huh
You got to learn, baby, learn
So that you can earn, baby, earn
And get a little something called yearn, baby, yearn
Or you'll be sittin' around like the underdog
One of these days talkin' about durn, baby, durn
So get yourself together and get together
I want to see you churn, baby, churn
I want to see you churn, baby, churn
I want to see you churn, baby, churn
Hey, hey
[Verse 3]
Everybody station to station
Help your part of the nation
Understand the proclamation
Re-dig the emancipation

[Chorus]
But don't burn, baby, burn
You just learn, baby, learn
Don't burn, baby, burn
You just learn, baby, baby
