Midnight Arson

[Intro]
[Verse]
Clock strikes four in the morning gloom
Iron walls like a living tomb
Sweat and oil on a denim sleeve
Finally time for me to leave
Punched the card for the final time
Walking out of this corporate crime
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the gears grind slow
Nowhere left to go
The neon flicker is calling me
Tonight I’m finally breaking free
[Chorus]
Set the pail on fire
Higher and higher
Watch the rust turn red
Like the lies they fed
I’m done with the line
This life is mine
Middle finger to the sky
Watch the shadows die
[Post-Chorus]
Burn it down
In this town
Burn it down
I’m not your clown
[Verse]
Concrete bridge and the overpass
Everything’s built of steel and glass
Threw the thermos in the oily creek
Stronger now than I was last week
The boss can rot in his leather chair
I’m breathing in the gasoline air
[Chorus]
Set the pail on fire
Higher and higher
Watch the rust turn red
Like the lies they fed
I’m done with the line
This life is mine
Middle finger to the sky
Watch the shadows die
[Bridge]
No more whistles
No more chains
Blood is boiling
In my veins
Burn the blueprint
Rip the page
Kick the lock
And smash the cage
[Solo]
[Verse]
The highway hums a lonesome tune
Underneath a dying moon
Smoke is rising from the metal tin
The only battle I’m gonna win
Keep your pension and your gold watch too
I’m never coming back to you
[Build-up]
I’m done
I’m done
I’m done
YEAH!
[Chorus]
Set the pail on fire
Higher and higher
Watch the rust turn red
Like the lies they fed
I’m done with the line
This life is mine
Middle finger to the sky
Watch the shadows die
[Post-Chorus]
Burn it down
In this town
Burn it down
I’m not your clown
[Breakdown]
No more nine to five
Feeling so alive
Underneath the lights
Ending all the fights
[Outro]
