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)
