It's a tough pill to swallow the moment it hits you
that the town you grew up in no longer fits you
so you pack your belongings and say your goodbyes
in a place where your happiness died
and the future's unwritten or so they say
and there's nothing to stop you from running away
so let's make an example of something we hate
with a molotov to seal its fate
this town's become boring and I'm losing friends
let's burn it all down and start over again
cause I think I'm done running from all of my sins
in a place where nobody wins
and I dream of a place where we can be free
no police institutions to crush all our dreams
and no racist or homophobic pieces of shit
who perpetuate intolerance
I'll travel the world with utopian fantasies
burning down towns as they all disappoint me
till I find somewhere that it's ok for me
to be filthy and lawless and free
so when you wake up and you simply can't take
another day of living in a pl;ace that ya hate
the formula's simple to make a new scene
rags, bottles, and gasoline
