Here's a cover we did of Perfect Day a few years ago. 
Such a great song. Thanks Lou.

PERFECT DAY

Burn ... long version ... final mix ... Gary Ratoff © all rights 2007

If you invaded my country, stole my land, infected my people, with a tyrants last stand, if you rounded them up, mmm ... and put them some where, your life wouldn't be worth a nickel, and, you'd be livin it in fear ... cuz, I'd burn the white house down ... Amerikaka Amerikaka ... burn that bitch to the ground ... Amerikaka Amerikaka ... and I would bring on the cold dark night ... Amerikaka Amerikaka ... put you in shock ... umm ... you'd die of fright 

And if with one hand and fingers crossed, you gave to my mother, built your weapons of choice, and stole with the other, and you marched off to war, and killed my brother ... now you know what I'd do, cuz I done blown my cover ... I would burn the white house down ... Amerikaka Amerikaka ... I would burn that bitch to the ground ... Amerikaka Amerikaka ... yeah I would bring on the cold dark night, Amerikaka Amerikaka ... put you in shock ... ah ah you'd die of fright ... I would burn the white house down ... Amerikaka Amerikaka  ... yeah I would burn that bitch to the ground ... Amerikaka ... yeah ... Amerikaka

You walled off hope, infected minds, hung em rope, and then handed them stiff fines, when will you learn, when will you change, when your cities burn ... you'll remember that I sang ... yeah ... I would burn the white house down  ... Amerikaka Amerikaka ... yeah ... I would burn that bitch to the ground ... yeah ... how bout them apples how do they sound ... Amerikaka Amerikaka ... yeah I'd burn the white house down .... I would burn the white house down Amerikaka Amerikaka ... yeah ... I would burn that bitch to the ground Amerikaka Amerikaka ... and I would bring on the cold dark night ... Amerikaka Amerikaka ... put you in shock ... you'd die of fright ... yeah   

Where will you run, when that final day comes, ah where will you be, when freedoms finally free, and what will say on that fateful judgement day ...  what would you pay ... if you had no place to stay 

And if ya stole my money, and drugged my children, and slaughtered my brethren from ... Tripoli to Berlin ... and ya sold me on war, and tortured, my neighbors, and turned your back on the poor, like a bunch of ah corporate  raiders ... ha ... aaaaaaaah .... I would burn the white house down ... aaaaaaaah burn that bitch to the ground, aaaaaaaah ... how bout them apples how do they sound  ... yeah ... I would burn the white house down
