Burn It Down Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I saw you last night down at Lake Geneva
Hot as hell, legs for miles
I started talking, you started walking
And then you pushed me aside
Now I'm a hard-headed man with a hard-headed plan
Never backing down
So I asked you out, but you fed me some lie
"My cat's sick and my dog just died"

[Chorus]
You're such a liar, baby
But I know where you are, yes I do
You're playing with fire
I'm gonna burn it down, down, down
Down to the ground
This place is gonna die, die, die
With an awful sound

[Verse 2]
All my life they called me a fool
No style, never been cool
In and out of trouble, in and out of jail
Yeah, I was born to fail
I guess a twelve gauge flare oughta get the job done
I got a guy, gonna get me one
I'll strike back, settle the score
Enough is enough, I can't take no more

[Chorus]
You're such a liar, baby
But you're gonna pay, yes you will
You're playing with fire
I'm gonna burn it down, down, down
Down to the ground
This place is gonna die, die, die
With an awful sound

[Post-Chorus]
I'm gonna burn it down

[Bridge]
I'll never know why they never found out
She never knew what it was all about
I let her go, set her free
She was no good for me
But, hey, no one got hurt, nobody died
I'm breathing easy, guess it's all right
Maybe one day they'll write me a song
A tale like this, you can't go wrong

[Outro]
Yeah, such a liar she was
But I evened the score, yes I did
She was playing with fire
I had to burn it down, down, down
Down to the ground
The place had to die, die, die
With an awful sound
Burn it down
