Set The World On Fire Lyrics - Singles - Klaatu

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 

Do you ever wanna shout 

I'm not gonna take it anymore, yeah 

But you never let it out 

You're too busy crawling back for more 

(chorus) 

Gonna set the world on fire 

Gonna stand and watch it burn 

Gonna get my heart's desire 

And I don't care who gets hurt 

(Gonna set the world on) Fire 

On Friday afternoon I went to get my paycheck cashed 

I needed money badly with the weekend coming fast 

I lined up for an hour but when my turn arose 

The teller said, "I'm sorry, sir, this wicket's just been closed." 

Do you ever wanna shout 

I'm not gonna take it anymore, yeah 

But you never let it out 

You're too busy crawling back for more 

(chorus) 

Don't you ever wanna shout 

I'm not gonna take it anymore, yeah 

Go ahead and let it out 

I'm fed up with crawling on the floor 

So you've had one of those nights (one of those nights) 

When you can't do nothin' right (nothin' right) 

And your luck's been running bad (running bad) 

And it makes you kinda mad (kind of mad) 

When everybody say 

Don't let your frustrations get the best of you 

Use a little patience and they'll melt like morning dew 

(chorus)
