The Dole Song
I left my soul
Down a hole
Now I'm signing on the dole
And there ain't no more money coming my way
I've tried my hand
At this and that
I've even tried being a democrat
But there ain't no equal pay coming my way
I took schooling in my stride
My horizons were so wide
But I reached too high
I slipped and fell and festered
It's a wipe out, a strike out, tell 'em all about it
My room has posters on the wall
Plastic [?] stacked in the hall
And people just don't know what's coming their way
My philosophy is plain
As I've nothing much to gain
I'll take as many as I can
When I go my way
I took schooling in my stride
My horizons were so wide
But I reached too high
I slipped and fell and festered
It's a wipe out, a strike out, tell 'em all about it
My room has posters on the wall
Plastic [?] stacked in the hall
And people just don't know what's coming their way
My philosophy is plain
As I've nothing much to gain
I'll take as many as I can
When I go my way
(Burn baby burn)
Burn it to the ground!
(Burn baby burn)
I wanna watch it all burn down
(Burn baby burn)
And let 'em all know why this world is bringing me down, down down
(Burn baby burn)
Burn it burn it burn it to the ground
(Burn baby burn)
I wanna watch the world burn down
(Burn baby burn)
It's my turn now
I'm gonna show you why I'm all brought down
(Burn baby burn)
So
Burn burn burn burn burn burn
(Burn baby burn)
Burn it to the ground
Down a hole
Now I'm signing on the dole
And there ain't no more money coming my way
I've tried my hand
At this and that
I've even tried being a democrat
But there ain't no equal pay coming my way
I took schooling in my stride
My horizons were so wide
But I reached too high
I slipped and fell and festered
It's a wipe out, a strike out, tell 'em all about it
My room has posters on the wall
Plastic [?] stacked in the hall
And people just don't know what's coming their way
My philosophy is plain
As I've nothing much to gain
I'll take as many as I can
When I go my way
I took schooling in my stride
My horizons were so wide
But I reached too high
I slipped and fell and festered
It's a wipe out, a strike out, tell 'em all about it
My room has posters on the wall
Plastic [?] stacked in the hall
And people just don't know what's coming their way
My philosophy is plain
As I've nothing much to gain
I'll take as many as I can
When I go my way
(Burn baby burn)
Burn it to the ground!
(Burn baby burn)
I wanna watch it all burn down
(Burn baby burn)
And let 'em all know why this world is bringing me down, down down
(Burn baby burn)
Burn it burn it burn it to the ground
(Burn baby burn)
I wanna watch the world burn down
(Burn baby burn)
It's my turn now
I'm gonna show you why I'm all brought down
(Burn baby burn)
So
Burn burn burn burn burn burn
(Burn baby burn)
Burn it to the ground
