You, you try to play it safe
But I am planning my escape.
Yeah, you want your picket fence,
But I can't even pay the rent.
I'd rather burn out then spend my life waiting.
I wanna go down, down in history.
Everybody's gonna know me when I die,
So I don't give a damn if I survive.
I'd rather burn out then spend my life waiting.
You keep it slow and steady.
I am more then good and ready.
And you set on for second place,
But I won't even run the race!
I'd rather burn out then spend my life waiting.
I wanna go down, down in history.
Everybody's gonna know me when I die,
So I don't give a damn if I survive.
I'd rather burn out then spend my life waiting.
Yeah... Yeah... Oo-oo-uh oo-oo-uh
I'd rather burn out then spend my life waiting.
I wanna go down, down in history.
Everybody's gonna know me when I die,
So I don't give a damn if I survive.
I'd rather burn out then spend my life waiting.
