Burn It Up

The Offspring

Yeah, I think I'm burning up inside
Yeah, I think I'll take a little ride
To light up everything in sight
Oh

Yeah, I'll drive on by your yard
Throw a Molotov cocktail at your car
Then another in the local bar

Oh, ignition
They call it an obsession
I think it's kinda bitchin'
I think it's kinda neat

Whoa, yeah, I'm a pyro
Whoa, I want to burn it up
Whoa, yeah, I'm a pyro
Whoa

Tonight this 'hood will be a pyre
Yeah, I'm gonna set your house on fire
Dance around the pretty flames
Such a wonderful game

I wanna make a tiki torch
I'm gonna throw it on your porch
Then I'm gonna run away
Come back on another day

Oh, ignition
They call it an obsession
I think it's kinda bitchin'
I think it's kinda neat

Whoa, yeah, I'm a pyro
Whoa, I want to burn it up
Whoa, yeah, I'm a pyro
Whoa

So many houses, so little time
So many reasons, I'm not a crime
I'd like to set you up
I'd like to set you up

Oh, ignition
They call it an obsession
I think it's kinda bitchin'
I think it's kinda neat

Whoa, yeah, I'm a pyro
Whoa, I want to burn it up
Whoa, yeah, I'm a pyro
Whoa, I want to burn it up
Whoa, yeah, I'm a pyro
Whoa, yeah, I'm a pyro
Whoa, yeah, I'm a pyro
Whoa

    This was the first Offspring song I ever heard. I have always been a pyro and back in middle school my best friend came to me and said, "You gotta hear this, it's like your theme song!" Ever since then, I've loved the Offspring. Not a lot of deep meaning in this song, unlike many of the other Offspring songs, but some awesome lyrics: "I'll dance around the pretty flames, Such a wonderful game." C'mon now, who dosn't want to go torch somthing after hearing this song?

    If it's nice outside, wherever you are, please, I urge you, get off your lazy ass and go burn something. Preferably a municipal structure.
