All these rats are swimmin' for the land
They ain't goin' down with the captain
Same old rats that took a bite outa' me

Darling way back when the word was mutiny

Nothin' but a raft to carry me and my girl

They just wrote us off
'Til we turned the blazing torches on their docks


One night we're gonna' burn 'em down
One night we're gonna' burn 'em down
One night we're gonna' burn 'em down


And the same goes for those who underestimate
Said the love of my life was just another blind date

You know I hardly had a single edgewise
Before the true believers started to drop like flies


But I don't see 'em out parading arm in arm
I see 'em dodging cars in harm's way
You think with so many words of wisdom they could fill

up a library

But one night I'd have to burn it down

One night I'd have to burn it down

I can think of at least fourteen ways to disappear

No I don't need to be told when it's plain as day I'm
in the minority here
But why should all the horrible people have all the

cheer

Blue green grass is standing somewhere still

I know it is even if it's over landfill
I got to think that there's still a tiny patch
To raise some hens and watch those chickens hatch


Browsing through the almanac I watch the stars
That plummet now and then

And I'm waiting for a flamin' shoe to drop on us again

One night gonna' burn it down

One night we're gonna' burn it down
One night we're gonna' burn it down
Gonna' burn it down

We're gonna' burn it down
We're gonna' burn it burn it burn it burn it down
