| Well the other night my automobile broke down on the road | |
| I hadda walk a mile before I found a telephone | |
| I said, “hello operator, your phone just ate my dime” | |
| A tape machine said, “sorry sir” and then hung up the line | |
| Did you ever wanna shout | |
| I'm not gonna take it anymore, yeah | |
| But you never get it out | |
| You're too busy crwalin' back for more . | |
| Gonna set the world on fire (gonna set the world on fire) | |
| Gonna stand and watch it burn (gonna set the world on fire) | |
| Gonna get my heart's desire (gonna get my heart's desire) | |
| And I don't care who get hurt (gonna set the world on fire) | |
| Fire | |
| On Friday afternoon I went to get my paycheque cashed | |
| I needed money badly with the weekend comin' fast | |
| I line up for an hour, but when my turn arose | |
| The teller said, “I'm sorry sir, this wicke't just been closed” | |
| Did you ever wanna shout | |
| I'm not gonna take it anymore yeah | |
| But you never get it out | |
| You're too busy crawlin' back for more . | |
| Gonna set the world on fire (gonna set the world on fire) | |
| I'm gonna stand and watch it burn (gonna set the world on fire) | |
| I'm gonna get my heart's desire (gonna get my heart's desire) | |
| And I don't care who get hurt (gonna set the world on fire) | |
| Fire. | |
| SOLO | |
| Ah Don-cha ever wanna shout | |
| I'm not gonna take it anymore, yeah | |
| Go ahead and let it out | |
| I'm fed up with crawlin' on the floor . | |
| So you had one of those nights | |
| When you can't do nothin' right | |
| An your luck's been runnin' bad | |
| An it makes you kinda mad | |
| When everybody say ... don't let your frustrations | |
| Get the best of you use a little patience | |
| And they'll melt like morning dew , oh | |
| (gonna set the world on fire) | |
| I'm gonna stand and watch it burn (gonna set the world on fire) | |
| I'm gonna get my heart's desire (gonna get my heart's desire) | |
| And I don't care who get hurt (gonna set the world on fire) | |
