Burn It Clean Lyrics

(Hey, jackass)

Got a burnin', it's so hot it shines
The road I'm on's got no signs
You say I abuse my only life
The fruit I eat is over-ripe
Yeah

Burn it clean
Burn it clean

Guitar-playin' loser, lose your turn
Got her up in the start, I'm itchin' to burn
Lost my turn and gained a sin
Got to see it, got to see it goin' in
Yeah

Burn it clean
Burn it clean

Burn it clean
Burn it clean
Burn it clean
Burn it clean

Wound up tied, hot under the collar
You'll do anything for a dollar
Burn everything, I can't aim
Got to see it, got to see it go up in flames

Burn it clean
Burn it clean
Burn it clean

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Overripe fruit... definately diarhea, with the burning being kinda obvious then

Itching to Burn? That's so heroin-induced... supported with "gotta see it going in" the needle

the last verse seems to be taking the piss outta corporate wherever
