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 than 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 Than 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
