Well the other night my automobile broke down on the road
I had to walk a mile before I found a telephone
I said, "Hello operator, your phone just ate my dime"
A tape machine said, "Sorry, sir" and then hung up the line
Did you ever wanna shout?
"I'm not gonna take it anymore," yeah!
But you never get it out
You're too busy crawlin' back for more

Gonna set the world on fire (Gonna set the world on fire)
I'm gonna stand and watch it burn (Gonna set the world on fire)
I'm gonna get my heart's desire (Gonna get my heart's desire)
And I don't care who get hurt (Gonna set the world on fire)
Fire!

On Friday afternoon I went to get my paycheck cashed
I needed money badly with the weekend comin' fast
I line up for an hour, but when my turn arose
The teller said, "I'm sorry sir, this wicket's just been closed"
Did you ever wanna shout?
"I'm not gonna take it anymore," yeah!
But you never get it out
You're too busy crawlin' back for more

Gonna set the world on fire (Gonna set the world on fire)
I'm gonna stand and watch it burn (Gonna set the world on fire)
I'm gonna get my heart's desire, yeah (Gonna get my heart's desire)
And I don't care who get hurt (Gonna set the world on fire)
Fire!

Ah don't you ever wanna shout?
"I'm not gonna take it anymore," yeah!
Go ahead and let it out
I'm fed up with crawlin' on the floor

So you had one of those nights (One of those nights)
When you can't do nothin' right (Nothin' right)
An your luck's been runnin' bad (Runnin' bad)
An it makes you kinda mad (Kinda mad)
When everybody say, "Don't let your frustrations
Get the best of you. Use a little patience
And they'll melt like morning dew,"

Oh! (Gonna set the world on fire)
I'm gonna stand and watch it burn (Gonna set the world on fire)
I'm gonna get my heart's desire (Gonna get my heart's desire)
And I don't care who get hurt (Gonna set the world on fire)

Yeah! Gonna set the world on fire (Gonna set the world on fire)
I'm gonna stand and watch it burn (Gonna set the world on fire)
I'm gonna get my hearts desire, yeah (Gonna get my heart's desire)
And I don't care who gets hurt (Gonna set the world on fire)

Yeah! Gonna set the world on fire (Gonna set the world on fire)
I'm gonna stand and watch it burn, burn, burn (Gonna set the world on fire)
I'm gonna get my hearts desire, ooh (Gonna get my heart's desire)
And I don't care who gets hurt (Gonna set the world on fire)
Yeah!
