[Verse 1] They tell us all we're gonna be okay And that the world's looking out for you They promise things won't stay the same And you'll never have to face the truth That if you know what you want You'll only have to pay your dues That if you know what you want It'll all work out for you Out for you [Pre-Chorus] It's been a long, long, long, long, lonely day Caught in the middle I've been paving the way And I'm trying trying, trying, trying to find a way And I've been living with a price to pay [Chorus] If I can't get made, never fading out Gonna start a fire, short fuse while I take hits Tough times get by, never had a doubt Gonna set fire to the world with a matchstick [Hook] If I don't make it, I'm taking the world with me Swimming in kerosene, I'm taking everything If I don't make it, I'm taking the world with me Swimming in kerosene, I'm taking everything [Verse 2] And if you get what you want Who's to say you'll ever have enough? And if you ever find love Who's to say you'll never give it up? Yeah, started from the bottom Now I'm here again Taking what is mine You better tell your friends Started from the bottom Now I'm here again 'Cause once I'm at the top I'll never fear again [Pre-Chorus] It's been a long, long, long, long, lonely day Caught in the middle I've been paving the way And I'm trying trying, trying, trying to find a way And I've been living with a price to pay [Chorus] If I can't get made, never fading out Gonna start a fire, short fuse while I take hits Tough times get by, never had a doubt Gonna set fire to the world with a matchstick [Hook] If I don't make it, I'm taking the world with me Swimming in kerosene, I'm taking everything If I don't make it, I'm taking the world with me Swimming in kerosene, I'm taking everything [Bridge] Everyday we fade away Ashes fade to black They fade to gray And slowly we disintegrate Everyday disintegrate Everyday we fade away Ashes fade to black They fade to gray And slowly we disintegrate Everyday disintegrate Slowly we disintegrate Everyday disintegrate [Chorus] If I can't get made, never fading out Gonna start a fire, short fuse while I take hits Tough times get by, never had a doubt Gonna set fire to the world with a matchstick [Hook] If I don't make it, I'm taking the world with me Swimming in kerosene, I'm taking everything If I don't make it, I'm taking the world with me Swimming in kerosene, I'm taking everything If I don't make it, I'm taking the world with me Swimming in kerosene, I'm taking everything If I don't make it, I'm taking the world with me Swimming in kerosene, I'm taking everything
