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
