Light the house on fire
Couldn't look it was burning my eyes
13 years old, we lost our house
Everyone knew but no one helped out
Got faster on my bike
Came in drunk, past midnight
Found my mother passed out on the floor
She was working too hard
The good old days when things were bad
Sometimes I wish could go back
The good old days when things were bad
Bills are high and the money gets low
Got in the bath but the water was cold
Slept in the church, when the paper came out
He got off early but he's guilty now
They sold us freedom to take it away
Now California's up in flames
And were still driving cars
Not every cage has bars
The good old days when things were bad
Sometimes I wish could go back
The good old days when things were bad
Sometimes I wish could go back
I made something out of nothing
That's who I am
Take the shirt off my back
I'm a good friend
I made something out of nothing
That's who I am
Take the shirt off my back
I'm a good friend
When you play with me you play with fire
When you play with me you play with fire
