If You Love Somebody, Set Them on Fire Lyrics
You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I were to say to you
I didn't set your house on fire
But it's just the way I am
You'll have to take it for a fact
Life can really burn you up
When you're a pyromaniac
If you love somebody
Better set them on fire
I went to your house last night
Your dad called me the human torch
Got a little pissed at him
so I burned down your front porch
Now I feel a little bad
About pouring gas on your dad
But you know it's hard to quit
And besides he started it
CHORUS
I just bought a brand new lighter
And I cannot wait to use it
Oily rags are special things
You know to me they're diamond rings
Maybe we can have some fun
Maybe we can burn someone
CHORUS
You know that I would be a liar
If I were to say to you
I didn't set your house on fire
But it's just the way I am
You'll have to take it for a fact
Life can really burn you up
When you're a pyromaniac
Better set them on fire
Your dad called me the human torch
Got a little pissed at him
so I burned down your front porch
Now I feel a little bad
About pouring gas on your dad
But you know it's hard to quit
And besides he started it
And I cannot wait to use it
Oily rags are special things
You know to me they're diamond rings
Maybe we can have some fun
Maybe we can burn someone

I like the Light My Fire by the The Doors tribute deal in the beginning
Cute, but in a hardcore kinda way.

These lyrics aren't completely correct by the way..
[sound of match striking]

If you love somebody Better set them on fire
I went to your house last night Dad called me the human torch Got a little pissed at him So I burned down your front porch

If you love somebody Better set them on fire
If you love somebody Why not set them on fire?
If you love somebody Better set them on fire

I love this song!!! It's friggin amazing. Dead Milkmen are wow.
this song is amazing. my friend started listening to it after her dad died. and i was kinda shocked. lawlllz : / ohwell, ...
This song fucking rules! such a great funny song, but does anyone no if there is more meaning to it? What else do they mean?
This song (title) is a parody of the Doors "Light My Fire" ... other than that its just a silly song about a kid who enjoys lighting things on fire. The Dead Milkmen songs are generally hilarious...sometimes political...but mostly just very enjoyable.
Fixed:
Now I feel a little bad about throwing gas on your dad
