If the throttle is pulled   Back to burn through the fuel   And the mix is just right   But the speed is too cruel   Then even the strongest   Will slowly burn into ashes   In the atmosphere      When you burn too fast   If you give it too much gas   Wave goodbye to it all   Oh how the mighty fall   Oh how the truth may slip   Tied to the breaking mast   When you burn too fast      Oh, you'll pay it in blood   That kerosene fuels the evil flame   Where they've forgotten your name   And you'll never last   And you'll die very young   When you burn too fast      And the promises,   They may or may not have made   Are just the needles sticking into your veins   Pumping all of their sick lies into you   Until you're stupid enough   To look the other way   When you burn too fast      When you walk that plank   When the stench gets rank   When their knuckles dig so deep in your back   You just turn the crank   It's when they bury you   They never cared for you   Just that you burn too fast      When they've bled you dry   And they cast you aside   Then they'll put out their hands to be friends   Like they never lied   When the last light glides   And you wave goodbye.
