lyrics

The burnout gang
Running around in a busy street
They make us so proud

Drilling holes through space and time
Carrying their hearts in plastic bags
Burying their faces in wet cement
And hoping for the best

Displaying life in a bleak parade
Breaking promises they never made
The burnout gang
They wish they were you
This is their ultimate aim
This is their claim to fame
The burnout gang
They wish they were you

The burnout gang
Setting the laws of uncommon sense
And breaking them all one by one

They live in cocoons by river banks
Playing their tricks and pulling their pranks
Claiming they will never die
They look you in the eye

Making people disappear
Building habits out of fear
The burnout gang
They wish they were you
This is their ultimate aim
This is their claim to fame
The burnout gang
They wish they were you
