World's On Fire

Out on the weekend, I'm 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 around

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'll say I'm crazy, but I 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
They think that they must be the chosen ones
They use you, abuse you, then rob you blind
They sit counting your money, while they fuck with your mind

Nobody listens and nobody cares
There's no prizes for winners, and nobody dares
It's a total eclipse, on this side of the law
And all I know, I can't take any more

Feel like I'm walking on the edge of a knife
And they'll say I'm crazy, but I tell you why
My world's on fire
My world's on fire
My world's on fire
My world's on fire

Feel like I'm walking on the edge of a knife
They'll think I'm crazy, but I tell you why
My world's on fire
My world's on fire
My world's on fire
My world's on fire
