What You Burn Songtext
von Call Me Malcolm

I′m Charlie Fear and this is my partner in rage
We got the all-important horrors today
And we're played all day from the second you start
Prepare to have your head washed out
Whatever my pager prefers

Lead me far away ′cause
I don't wanna be here anymore
As I suffocate now

Week go 'round, I′m stuck in hell
Twenty-four hours on a carousel
Say goodbye and say farewell
To the world that you know

With pinback eyes and a rabid obsession to know
The indiscretions and the fear they sow
I′m bloodshot wise with hypertension to feed
I swallow fear for every breakfast
And hatred every other damn meal


Lead me far away 'cause
I don′t wanna be here anymore
As I suffocate now

Week go 'round, I′m stuck in hell
Twenty-four hours on a carousel
Say goodbye and say farewell
To the world that you know
There's no forecast without smoke
What we reap is what you sowed
Breathing stories ′til we choke
On the world that we know

Pan away from love and
Zoom in on all our flaws
No bulletin has solved more problems than it caused
Bad news travels fast but
Our nightmares travel faster
We interrupt our scheduled hell
For an even worse disaster
Now here's Katie with the weather


With the TV on and your head turned off
Trying to figure out how we could get so lost
It's a three square con and we eat because
We′re a country built on shame and taking pleasure in everyone′s loss

Take us far away, we
Don't deserve to be here anymore
Let us suffocate now

Week go ′round, I'm stuck in hell
Twenty-four hours on a carousel
Say goodbye and say farewell
To the world that you know
There′s no forecast without smoke
What we reap is what you sowed
Breathing stories 'til we choke
On the world that we know
