I started the fire

I started the fire

that could have burned down the school

I don't regret it at all

because it was really cool.

I started the fire

that got me suspended

but I don't really care

because it was funny as hell.

I wouldn't have gotten caught

if my friend hadn't fed the fire

too bad he's a dumbass

and got us all in trouble.

No one had it as bad as me

because I started it in the first place

and I'll cherish the lighter I did it with

it is a special lighter to me.

I can't help my stupidity,

my impulsive nature and cluelessness...

no it wasn't cluelessness

because I knew what I was doing and why

that school's a shitty place that I hate,

I wanted to do some damage.

Not burn the school down,

nothing like that

just draw some attention

and show em who's boss.

Do I give a shit that I'm in trouble?

Fuck no, I don't give two shits.

Too bad my parents do,

now I'm grounded

but that's some bullshit

it wasn't even that bad.

I think I learned something from this,

wanna know why?

because

I started the fire

that started the fire in me

and it'll burn on forever inside of me

it'll keep burning till the day I die

because that's just the kind of person I am.
