You, you tried 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, ooh ooh
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
