Burnout

Mama said he was a good boy

Good boy once he was

Preppy clothes and fancy car

He thought he ruled the world

But then one day his mind was freed

He came to see reality

That in this world you’re on your own boy

Do things wrong, you’re on your own boy

He found that life was just a gamble

Play it wrong you’ve got to scramble

Scramble fast, that’s what he did

And now he’s just a burnout kid

Walked on into his first party

Lots of people drinking hardy

Give this boy a drink I yelled

The boy shrugged and said what the hell

I’ll have just one, just one that’s all

He downed one, more start to fall

It seemed the boy could drink and drink

Until he trashed the bathroom sink

He cleaned it up and drank some more

He turned into a drunken whore

He wasn’t bad until that day

And now he’s just a burnout kid

He’s just a burnout kid

He can’t remember what he just did

He never knew what life could be

Until he met a burnout kid like me

[Solo]

The next party he drank a lot

And someone offered him some pot

He looked at it and said why not

He smoked so much his brain felt hot

He liked the feeling of being high

He sure was glad that he tried

A party boy he got to be

He liked the feeling of being free

But his care free days had a dreaded end

As he took his car around that bend

He hit the wall, died instantly

Because he tried to be like me

He’s just a burnout kid

Can’t remember what he just did

He never knew what life could be

Until he met a burnout kid like me
