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, yeah
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
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
