Punk Rock/phrase, saying

Question
Hi,
my mum is trying to remember a phrase from the punk, rock, left wing, anarchy scene. The saying starts: With a sentence about work then about a factory or something simular and it ends with " learn to burn", does this maybe ring any bells???
I was thinking that it might be from a song, but I wouldn't really know.
Thanks anyway and greetings from Austria.

Answer

Lukas, hello;

I'm sorry, there is not enough information for me to answer the question.  Many bands could have had lyrics like that, Gang of Four, The Ex, Mekons, Crass, just to name a few.  And it might not even be a song.  Sorry that I can't help you now, but if you get some more information, please write back.

Tim, and greetings from Atlanta, Georgia
