You got me burnin' Burned out of my head My body's lying My spirit is dead
You got me working Your breath down my neck Money you're earning You're stacking the deck Is there a reason of truth to believe in? Won't you release me Please, release me
Release me, yeah Free me, yeah Free
You got me burned out Get out of my head (Get out of my head) And my body's lying On the ground you left me dead (Where you left me dead)
You know that some say it's better To burn out than just fade away But there's no use in trying When all you do is tear me apart And you will never understand me
I see you smiling as long as you get all of me And I can't explain when you can never understand It's me who is losing You do the choosing You got me burned out And it's me who is losing
