[Verso 2]
They be smokin' your hide, come runnin' wild
Tell you, "Nothing to fear, 'cause the buck stops here"
He came from a little town called Hope
And someday, maybe, it'll go up in smoke
I said
[Pre Coro]
No fire-water, or Novocain
No thunderstorm and no John Wayne
No kids to rock, nowhere to run
So, watch out, 'cause this place is gonna burn
[Coro]
Burnin' alive, burnin' alive
Burnin' alive, burnin' alive
It's an all-out war
An all-out war
Burnin' alive
Burnin' alive
[Puente]
Somewhere, there's a little town called Hope
And someday, maybe, baby
He'll inhale that smoke
(Ha-ha)
[Solo]
[Coro]
Yeah, we're burnin' alive, burnin' alive
Burnin' alive, burnin' alive
Burnin' alive, burnin' alive
Burnin' alive, burnin' alive
It's an all-out war
An all-out war
Hear the battle roar
It's an all-out war
Yeah, we're burnin' alive, burnin' alive
Burnin' alive, burnin' alive
