[English]

All my life I've stepped to the rhythm of the drums inside my head

Longing for the sweet sound of my mama

Make them all walk this way

All my life I've stepped to the rhythm of the drums inside my head

Longing for the sweet sound of my mama

Make them all walk this way

There's a light for you, burning for you

Oh, my mama said: "It is burning for you

Oh, don't let it go, oh, don't let it it go

You'll find a way, baby, make them all burn."

(You'll make them all burn)

I'm a post-teen monster, bold and blind

From the top of my head to the shaking ground

Blame the billboards 'cause they've let me down

I'm a symphony of the world gone wild

(What a pretty sight)

And I spit and I cry for the dirty mind

Never really got it, baby

(You'll make them all burn)

But I think about it all the time

Tough luck, when, oh, will the days come around

Boy I am thinking 'bout it all the time

(You'll make them all burn)

All my life I've stepped to the rhythm of the drums inside my head

Longing for the sweet sound of my mama

Make them all walk this way

There's a light for you, burning for you

Oh, my mama said: "It is burning for you

Oh, don't let it go, oh, don't let it it go

You'll find a way, baby, make them all burn."

I'm a bug in your eardrum, that's my luck

(That's my luck)

And I won't, won't stop 'til the day I die

You'll never get my posse and I

We're a symphony of the world gone wild

(What a pretty sight)

And we long for the place where we can be found

Burning like a star in our minds

(You'll make them all burn)

But I think about it all the time

Tough luck, when, oh, will the days come around

Boy I am thinking 'bout it all the time

(You'll make them all burn)

Sun rises beyond the sea

The dead will see and we might stop living

All my life I've stepped to the rhythm of the drums inside my head

Longing for the sweet sound of my mama

Make them all walk this way

All my life I've stepped to the rhythm of the drums inside my head

Longing for the sweet sound of my mama

Make them all walk this way

There's a light for you, burning for you

Oh, my mama said: "It is burning for you

Oh, don't let it go, oh, don't let it it go

You'll find a way, baby, make them all burn."

Sunshine is beyond the sea

You'll find a way, baby

Make them all burn

Sunshine is beyond the sea

You'll find a way, baby

Make them all burn
