Well the other night

My automobile broke down on the road

I had to walk a mile

Before I found a telephone

I said "Hello, operator

Your phone just ate my dime"

A tape machine said "Sorry, sir"

And then hung up the line

Did you ever want to shout

I'm not gonna take it anymore

But you never get it out

You're too busy crawling back for more



Gonna set the world on fire

I'm gonna stand and watch it burn

I'm gonna get my heart's desire

And I don't care who gets hurt

Fire



On Friday afternoon

I went to get my paycheque cashed

I needed money badly

With the weekend coming fast

I line up for an hour

But when my turn arose

The teller said "I'm sorry, sir

This wicket's just been closed"

Did you ever want to shout

I'm not gonna take it anymore

But you never get it out

You're too busy crawling back for more



Gonna set the world on fire

I'm gonna stand and watch it burn

I'm gonna get my heart's desire

And I don't care who gets hurt

Fire



Don't you ever want to shout

I'm not gonna take it anymore

Go ahead and let it out

I'm fed up with crawling on the floor



So you had one of those nights

When you can't do nothin' right

And your luck's been running bad

And it makes you kinda mad

When everybody says

Don't let your frustrations

Get the best of you

Use a little patience

And they'll melt like morning dew



Gonna set the world on fire

I'm gonna stand and watch it burn

I'm gonna get my heart's desire

And I don't care who gets hurt

Fire
