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
