Burnin' alive, set my soul on fire
Runnin' with a gun, this place is gonna burn

No firewater, or novocaine
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

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 novocaine
No thunderstorm, no John Wayne
No kids to rock, nowhere to run
So watch out, 'cause this place is gonna burn

CHORUS:
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

CHORUS

(Watch the place burn down)
