Burn It To The Ground

Nickelback · Transformers - Revenge Of The Fallen (The Album) [2009]

Well it's midnight, damn right, we're wound up too tight

I've got a fist full of whiskey, the bottle just bit me

Ooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhh

That shit makes me bat shit crazy

We got no fear, no doubt, all in, balls out



We're going off tonight

To kick out every light

Take anything we want

Drink everything in sight

We're going till the world stops turning

While we burn it to the ground tonight

Ooooohhhhhhh



We're screaming like demons, swinging from the ceiling

I got a fist full of fifties, tequilia just hit me

Ooooohhhhh

We got no class, no taste, no shirt, and shit faced

We got it lined up, shot down, firing back straight crown



We're going off tonight

To kick out every light

Take anything we want

Drink everything in sight

We're going till the world stops turning

While we burn it to the ground tonight

Ooooohhhhhhh



(Guitar Solo)



Ticking like a time bomb, drinking till the nights gone

Well get your hands off of this glass, last call my ass

Weeelllll no chain, no lock, and this train won't stop

We got no fear, no doubt, all in, balls out



We're going off tonight

To kick out every light

Take anything we want

Drink everything in sight

We're going till the world stops turning

While we burn it to the ground tonight



Ooooohhhhhhh



We're going off tonight

To kick out every light

Take anyything we want

Drink everything in sight

We're going till the world stops turning

While we burn it to the ground tonight
