Greensky Bluegrass - Burn Them Lyrics
I wanna be a bad guy in a silent film
Lit up by candles and the space between the shadows
I wouldn't have to say nothing, or sound mean
I just wouldn't smile or look too pleased
My guess, better that they should
What if sorrows swim?
Good God, I'm gonna need to burn them
Probably cut my hair off, and save my beard
Stop wearing white and keep nothing clean at all
What a relief from the pressure to just be hated
And learn that being bad ain't nothing but a pleasure
They can't all be good
What if sorrows swim?
Good God, I'm gonna need to burn them
Good God, I'm gonna need to burn them!
Good God, I'm gonna need to burn them!
I could rob some worse guys done up like good ones
And hide a pile of money, and never have to worry
Baby give it all away for a reason to steal
Another chance to keep from keeping still
They can't all be good
My guess, better that they should
What if sorrows swim?
Good God, I'm gonna need to burn them
They can't all be good
My guess, better that they should
What if sorrows swim?
Good God, I'm gonna need to burn them
Good God, I'm gonna need to burn them
Good God, I'm gonna need to burn them

Greensky Bluegrass Burn Them Comments
This one goes into my alltime favourites
That's some powerful medicine right there
That's how you play! From now on! That's how you play! Epic back drop too. And then you went to burn afterward...
You got that drive!
You goddamn right.
I could never play a gig on that stage!! I'd be turned around looking at that amazing view while I was supposed to be singing and playing!
Yes! Y’all are rocking out on that mandolin. Definitely made a fan out of me!
Is that telluride??
I like it
Love your music😘
Nice song but your 5 string banjo player missing a few notes flat on his part...
Beautiful music.
Camera guy seems to not be into the Beck in this video.
How could a hundred some people not like this band? I have seen them like ten times and they always amaze me
2019?????😫😫
My science teachers brother is the guy playing the banjo
The Irish in me loves a session. Love it.👍
This band is a Celebration of America!!
That was actually pretty good.
I dig it man
Holy fucking shit
Bluegrass is a style, and simply having a band comprised of the typical bluegrass instruments doesn't make it a bluegrass band. They are definitely a good band and can play the bluegrass style, but this isn't "bluegrass". IDK what you'd fall it, but I'm happy to it exists and is carrying on the acoustic tradition and the bluegrass tradition, more or less.
Lately I have felt like just taking it easy and being the bad guy.
Green sky = tornado
Greensky bluegrass= tornado blues played with the key of grass
They are my new favorite JAM!!
no tambourine :( *sniff...sniff
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
eu gosto muito
Thank You,My new favorite
Such a sick song! Thank you GSBG & BGS! Please check out my 15-year-old son's cover of this tune: https://youtu.be/Ob_4sdiLInU
2 words.. thank. You.
the impromptu shoot on a plateau is brilliant.. like the cinematography...(dang, that was hard to spel...)
👎 spelling is bad
Good show but the telluride bluegrass festival is an awesome time can't wait to be back there
I wanna be a bad guy in a silent film
I could have been listening to this since 2014.....dang it!!!
Bruzza's solo is so sick ,love it
I like...
great band, my new favorite. But what is with these video editors(?!)
Newgrass is not new anymore, but it is still pretty wonderful. The revival goes on.
David Grisman 2.0
Band, Video, Song, Perfect.
Love this. We just saw them at Blue Ox Festival!
Great Great stuff!! Thanks Greensky :)
soooooooo good
Who knew hipster bluegrass could be so good?
Tony Rice. Math Flinner. Rob Ickes and Trey Hensley. Bryan Sutton and Tim Obrien. Heck even Infamous Stringdusters when they had Jesse Cobb. You'll forget about these guys
played this song for a girl who had never heard them...she was like I like it but he sounds like a beegee....I asked her what she was smokin
Definitely not a keeper
Can you get a prescription for mandolin lessons?
This music soothes my migraine mind
Is this all into 1 mic?
Are you guys coming to Atlanta? This song should be on a movie sound track.
Terrific show at Buckhead Theatre 21 Jan 2017.
Got your ticket, BJB Musica...21 Oct 2017?
woo michigan
hello, I'm passing by and expanding my musical taste horizons. good day to you
How could anyone give this a thumbs down? What is wrong with people???
to be honest 100k of these views are probably from me
Great pickin' !
what a venue!
I dont get how Mumford and Sons is a house hold name and you guys arnt..... yet. You guys are amazing!
Oh, God. Congratulations from Chile.
This is a masterpiece.
Luckily going to see then again this sat in Asheville ..pitchers and catchers and green sky...am I in heaven?
@moecoolmag you are really lucky man.I hope they will come to Telluride this summer.Maybe I'll see them aswell. Enjoy it
Farmers Music ?
What is the meaning of this song? Sorry I always come up with my own in my head but I want to see what other people say!
what's the diference between bluegrass and country?
Bluegrass is typically composed of string bands like you see here and generally play this kind of music to a lesser degree. Its more about than the instruments than the lyrics. That's why these guys all breaks and jam in their songs. Country is basically flip-flopped and currently only about singing about drinking, trucks, cheating, and sometimes churches., with a few exceptions of course.
Very nice. Anyone know who makes those sunglasses? Dig them.
Idk I'll ask my uncle (He is in the band)
ray bans
Which one? Can I be friends with them?
It would be awesome to find some sheet music or tablature for mandolin for this song. I've looked around, but haven't found anything yet. I would love to jam to this song.
ears, play with the song youll get it. watch phoff
Intro: Dm - Bb - A7 - Dm, repeat. Verse: Dm - Bb - Dm - Bb - A7 - Dm, (F - Gm - Bb - A7 - Dm, repeat.) and so on. Hope that helps.
"what if people down-thumb, good God, we're gonna need to burn them!"
incredible song!
Really!!! 35 dislikes??? What a bunch of clueless people. This is awesome!
they listen JB...
35 dislikes are from Florida-Georgia Line fans
Damn good. :-)
Greensky Bluegrass = AWESOME
No better words to describe the performance : Badass! That actually gave me chills. They are amazing musicians, I love it!

Bluegrass is to Country what Metal is to Rock.
@Prof. Luigi love it
Awesome as always.
Smart move to film this, great sound to go with the backdrop. You go boys!
How can any one dissent with that those notes and rhythms work well together.

Who knew Jesus and Ron Swanson were in a bluegrass band together!
And the award for best YouTube comment goes to😂

Thanos on bass
If Jesus was to play music it would be Bluegrass.

They look like a bunch of hipsters.
@BULLTRONHERO Sunglasses, eh?
They've had the same look before you even knew what a hipster was ass clown.
@Stacy Jackson Spoken like a true hipster. You do your people proud.
@Steve Pultz 1.) Never heard of that, not going to google it. 2.) Fuck yeah they rule; no one said hipsters and/or people who look like hipsters can't be talented musicians. 3.) Dick bird? Really? Do your friends think it's funny when you say that?
+Steve Pultz 👍
well fucking done gents, you have earned yourselves a subscriber
no....just no
jealous?
Best stuff I have heard in awhile
