World's On Fire

Out on the weekend

I'm as mad as hell

It's confusion in the citadel

No loser's gonna keep me down

I've been kicked and I've been

Shoved about

You think I'm crazy

But I know why

I ain't no thief

And I don't tell lies

That's how they play it

Down on easy street

You can't win the game

If you don't cheat

Here in my pocket

There's a 38 special

Don't want to blow it

But you never can tell

The only language

That the world understands

Is a man on the edge

With a gun in his hand

I feel like I'm walking on the edge of

A knife

They say I'm crazy

But I'll tell you why

My world's on fire

My world's on fire

My world's on fire

My world's on fire

Doctors and lawyers

And rich man's sons

Think that they must be

The chosen ones

They use you

Abuse you and rob you blind

They sit counting your money

While they fuck

With your mind

Nobody listens and nobody cares

There's no prize for winners

And nobody cares

It's a total eclipse

On this side of the law

All that I know

I can't take any more

Feel like I'm walking on the edge of

A knife

They say I'm crazy

But I'll tell you why

My world's on fire

My world's on fire

My world's on fire

My world's on fire

I feel like I'm walking on the edge of

A knife

They say I'm crazy

But I'll tell you why

My world's on fire

My world's on fire

My world's on fire

My world's on fire
