Burn It Up
♫The Offspring [1993 - Ignition] Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I think I'll take a little ride
I'm gonna light up everything in sight
I'll drive on by your yard
And throw a Molotov cocktail at your car
Then another in the local bar
Ignition
I think it's kinda neat
Yeah, I'm a pyro
I want to burn it up
Yeah, I'm a pyro
Tonight this 'hood will be a pyre
I'm gonna set your house on fire
I'll dance around the pretty flames
Such a wonderful game
Ignition
They call it an obsession but I think it's kinda bitchen'
I think it's kinda neat
Yeah, I'm a pyro
I want to burn it up
Yeah, I'm a pyro
I want to make a tiki torch
I'm gonna throw it on your porch
Then I'm gonna run away
And come back another day
So many houses, so little time
So many reasons, I'm not a crime
I'd like to set you up
I'd like to set you up

If I bleed tonight
If I am sad tonight
I don't have a job to find
And if I work tonight
If I'm so tired tonight
I'll fall asleep when I'm home
When I'm home
[Verse 1]
I was just so far from here
Focused on my own way
Without never looking back
To those who lived in fear
There was nothing I could do
There was nothing you said
That could make me realize
How much lucky I was
[Pre-Chorus]
Just out of reach of this fire
I was not aware of this nightmare
But when I start to see those eyes
Begging for help, begging for hope
I just need to open my eyes now
To try to change and to search how
To be someone among others
I've got to try
[Chorus]
If I bleed tonight
If I am sad tonight
I don't have a job to find
And if I work tonight
If I'm so tired tonight
I'll fall asleep when I'm home
When I'm home
There's no name to call
The ones that can't see
The light that shines
Above their lives
[Verse 2]
I can see my life is crap
I have to see them too
I just lived into my world
Far from the pain they feel
[Pre-Chorus]
Just out of reach of this fire
I was not aware of this nightmare
But when I start to see those eyes
Begging for help, begging for hope
I just need to open my eyes now
To try to change and to search how
To be someone among others
I've got to try

Far from the pain they feel
Just out of reach of this fire
I was not aware of this nightmare

Begging for help and begging for hope
