Burn It to the Ground
Lyrics:
[English]
Well, it's midnight, damn right
We're wound up too tight
I've got a fist full of whiskey
The bottle just bit me
Oh, that shit makes me bat shit crazy
...
We've got no fear, no doubt
All in balls out
We're going off tonight
To kick out every light
Take anything we want
Drink everything in sight
We're going till the world stops turning
While we burn it to the ground tonight
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
We're screaming like demons
Swinging from the ceiling
I got a fist full of fifties
Tequila just hit me
Oh, we got no class, no taste
No shirt, and shit faced
We got it lined up, shot down
Firing back straight crown
We're going off tonight
To kick out every light
Take anything we want
Drink everything in sight
We're going till the world stops turning
While we burn it to the ground tonight
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
...
Ticking like a time bomb
Drinking till the nights gone
Well, get your hands off of this glass
Last call my ass
Well, no chain, no lock
And this train won't stop
We got no fear, no doubt
All in balls out
We're going off tonight
To kick out every light
Take anything we want
Drink everything in sight
We're going till the world stops turning
While we burn it to the ground tonight
Ooh, ooh, ooh
We're going off tonight
To kick out every light
Take anything we want
Drink everything in sight
We're going till the world stops turning
While we burn it to the ground tonight
...
