(Verse)
Burning alive, set my soul on fire
Running with a gun, this place is gonna burn
No firewater, or novacaine
No thunderstorm, no John Wayne
No kids to rock, nowhere to run
So watch out cuz this place is gonna burn

(Chorus)
Burning alive, burning alive
Burning alive, burning alive
Burning alive, burning alive
Burning alive, burning alive

(Verse 2)
Tell you nothing to fear, cuz the buck stops here!
He came from a little town called Hope
And someday, maybe, it’ll go up in smoke
No firewater, or novacaine
No thunderstorm, and no John Wayne
No kids to rock, nowhere to run
So watch out, cuz this place is gonna burn

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
Somewhere, there’s a little town called Hope
And someday, maybe baby, he’ll inhale that smoke!
(Yeah, we’re) Burnin’ alive, Burnin’ alive

(Chorus)
