Burn It Down is an unreleased track available for example on the Hard Reign bootleg LP and the Acoustics From The Beehive CD-bootleg.

Possibly, it just signifies an early version in the development of Burn, that was released later on The Reptile House EP.
The drumbeat is slightly different, though, (the characteristic Burn drumbeat does play once or twice at the end ),
However, the only parts of this demo track, that were officially released later, are a few lines, recycled as a backwards played sequence in Burn.

A still video of the track is available here for a listen...

Lyrics

Juggling with the ring of fire
The bullets blow holes and the flames go higher
Chase the yellow, chase the gold
The orange and the white lie in the stones

The juggling men and the idiot clowns
We will burn this circus down to the ground

Because some day I hope to turn and
Stand and watch this city burning down

Chase the yellow, chase the gold
The orange and the white lie in the stones

Burning, burning, burning, burning down
