Up in flames and down and out
That's where you find out what it's all about
We're the same they got both you and me
This road ain't easy street
You gotta make your own breaks
Or you're gonna get beat
And spend the rest of your life trying to find
Where you got lost

Go ahead try and break your chains
That's when you'll see that it's all a game
The deck is stacked and the won't let you win
On the street there's a neon sign
It say's take it easy boy cause it's the end of the line
It's a dead end street and it'll break a good man's will

Oh going up in flames
Oh going up in flames
Oh keep trying but it's all the same
Oh going up in flames

I just don't want to hang around
In the bars the streets or the slums in this town
This place is nowhere and that's just where you'll stay
You could say that you think I'm wrong
But you wouldn't last in these shoes for long
Trying to face a future that's going up in flames

Oh going up in flames
Oh going up in flames
Oh keep trying but it's all the same
Oh going up in flames
