Set the World on Fire
Well the other night my automobile broke down on the road
I had to walk a mile before I found a telephone
I said, "Hello Operator, your phone just ate my dime."
A tape machine said, "Sorry, sir" and then hung up the line
Do you ever wanna shout
I'm not gonna take it anymore, yeah
But you never let it out
You're too busy crawling back for more
(chorus)
Gonna set the world on fire
Gonna stand and watch it burn
Gonna get my heart's desire
And I don't care who gets hurt
(Gonna set the world on) Fire
On Friday afternoon I went to get my paycheck cashed
I needed money badly with the weekend coming fast
I lined up for an hour but when my turn arose
The teller said, "I'm sorry, sir, this wicket's just been closed."
Do you ever wanna shout
I'm not gonna take it anymore, yeah
But you never let it out
You're too busy crawling back for more
(chorus)
Don't you ever wanna shout
I'm not gonna take it anymore, yeah
Go ahead and let it out
I'm fed up with crawling on the floor
So you've had one of those nights (one of those nights)
When you can't do nothin' right (nothin' right)
And your luck's been running bad (running bad)
And it makes you kinda mad (kind of mad)
When everybody say
Don't let your frustrations get the best of you
Use a little patience and they'll melt like morning dew
(chorus)
