Burning Building by King and Queen of the Losers Lyrics
(Spoken: Ah, shit the bed on the first try. Right, let's go. 3, 4,)
[Verse 1]
I guess it kinda makes me sad, yeah
That I live in a burning building
I can't talk anyone into evacuating with me
Least of all you
You like burning buildings, you told me
You think the shadows of the flame
Dancing stories below us look cool
You figure someone will save us
[Chorus]
I fought wildfires in prison
But I didn't qualify to be a firefighter when I got out
The guy that started the fire said it was accidental
And now he goes to Stanford
Paper burns at 451
But your record is forever, the state is not forgetful
I know my soul should be on fire
But I feel so cold when I look at the TV
[Post-Chorus]
So let's burn it all down
[Verse 2]
I guess it's kinda funny, yeah
That I live in a burning building
I didn't even start this fire
Or if I did, I don't remember doing it
Now when I look around me
All of the surrounding buildings are billowing
Clouds of smoke, I look at you and I chuckle
When did this happen
[Chorus]
I fought wildfires in prison
But I didn't qualify to be a firefighter when I got out
The guy that started the fire said it was accidental
And now he goes to Stanford
Paper burns at 451
But your record is forever, the state is not forgetful
I know my soul should be on fire
But I feel so cold when I look at the TV
[Post-Chorus]
So let's burn it all down
[Bridge]
The door handle is hot to the touch
It's like they told me when I was a kid
Have you got your stop, drop, and roll down pat
I don't know about all of that
[Chorus]
I fought wildfires in prison
But I didn't qualify to be a firefighter when I got out
The guy that started the fire said it was accidental
And now he goes to Stanford
Paper burns at 451
But your record is forever, the state is not forgetful
I know my soul should be on fire
But I feel so cold when I look at the TV
[Post-Chorus]
So let's burn it all down
(Spoken: Finally! We got it, we got it.)
[Verse 1]
I guess it kinda makes me sad, yeah
That I live in a burning building
I can't talk anyone into evacuating with me
Least of all you
You like burning buildings, you told me

Dancing stories below us look cool
You figure someone will save us
[Chorus]
I fought wildfires in prison
But I didn't qualify to be a firefighter when I got out
The guy that started the fire said it was accidental
And now he goes to Stanford
Paper burns at 451
But your record is forever, the state is not forgetful
I know my soul should be on fire
But I feel so cold when I look at the TV
[Post-Chorus]
So let's burn it all down
