Burn Me Up
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I would like to be a martyr
Over time it's getting harder
Who do I have to go and kill
To get my face on a dollar bill
Every single time I look
Someone else has beat me to it
Some poor bastard bites the dust
I really don't know who to trust
But there's one thing I can't deny
I'd rather it was me they fried
Have a drink from an empty cup
Light a match and burn me up
I'm exhausted, I'm committed
I'm outsmarted, i'm out witted
My head's filled with dynamite
It's coming out of my ears at night
I think I am being watched
Electric eyes that never turn off
Radar beams insinuating
Evil thoughts while i'm masturbating
And even my old trinitron
It's comin through when nothing's on
Have a drink from an empty cup
Light a match and burn me up
