Burnin' alive
Set my soul on fire
Runnin' with a gun
This place is gonna burn
No firewater or Novocain
No thunderstorm no John Wayne
No kids to rock
Nowhere to run
So watch out cause this place is gonna burn
Burnin' alive, burnin' alive, burnin' alive, burnin' alive
Burnin' alive, burnin' alive
They be smokin' your hide
Come runnin' wild
Tell you nothin' to fear
Cause the buck stops here!
He came from a little town called hope
And someday maybe
It'll go up in smoke
No firewater or Novocain
No thunderstorm no John Wayne
No kids to rock nowhere to run
So watch out cause this place is gonna burn
Burnin' alive, burnin' alive, burnin' alive, burnin' alive
It's an all out war
An all out war
Burnin' alive, burnin' alive
Somewhere
There's a little town called hope
And someday maybe baby
He'll inhale that smoke!
Burnin' alive, burnin' alive, burnin' alive, burnin' alive
Burnin' alive, burnin' alive, burnin' alive, burnin' alive
It's an all out war
An all out war
Burnin' alive, burnin' alive
Watch the place burn down
