Burn Me Up Songtext
von Oingo Boingo

I would like to be a martyr
Over time it′s getting harder
Who do I have to go and kill
To get my face on a dollar bill.


Every single time I look
Someone else has beat me to it
Some poor bastard bites the dust
I really don't know who to trust.
But there′s one thing I can't deny
I'd rather it was me they fried
Have a drink from an empty cup
Light a match and burn me up.

I′m exhausted, I′m committed,
I'm outsmarted, i′m out witted.
My head's filled with dynamite
It′s coming out of my ears at night.


I think I am being watched
Electric eyes that never turn off.
Radar beams insinuating
Evil thoughts while i'm masturbating.
And even my old trinitron,
It′s comin through when nothing's on.
Have a drink from an empty cup,
Light a match and burn me up.
