San Diego s Burning lyrics


I m a hard working man, yeah I m down on my luck
With a broom and a dustpan, just tryin to raise a buck
It s not the fact that I don t wanna work
I m just not gonna take it anymore
Spillin my guts out every night
For a bunch of blank stares just looking for a fight
It s not that the fact that I don t wanna work
But we re screamin for change once again.
Voices cry out deep in the night
The streets are empty again
But what s the explanation for just putting up a fight
When San Diego s burning within.
Yeah, nobody here wants to do it
Unless somebody else does it first
Take a look around, watch it burn into the ground
The condition s gone from bad to worse
Time is running out, and the future s full of doubt
Are the good times really over? We can make the good times now
A neurotic, self conscious, superficial wasteland
Is what I would call my town
I try to think back to other times
I try to remember when
What s the explanation for just putting up a fight
When everybody s trying to win
Burn it down to the ground
