Go for the Burn Lyrics by Toni Basil

[Verse 1]
Ceiling falling on the floor
Bad news beating down the door
Kids got no food to eat
Fourteen hours on your feet
Neighbors scream, "It's not fair"
Hand-me-downs that you wear
You wanna just give up
’Cause you gotta push too much
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't care what other people say
Because it just doesn't have to be that way
No one said it was a piece of cake
Backbone, do-or-die is what it takes
When you gonna learn to go for the burn?
[Chorus]
(Burn, baby, go for the burn) Go for the burn
(Burn, baby, go for the burn) Go for the burn
(Burn, baby, go for the burn) Go for the burn
(Burn, baby, go for the burn) Go for the burn
[Verse 2]
Living on a stack of bills
Nervous bankers popping pills
Pollution falls like rain
Shooting shockwaves through your brain
Prefab mobile home
Just took out the Princess phone
Rock bottom, so what?
I throw back and just get up
[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t care what other people say
Because it just doesn't have to be that way
Got to push and make it past the pain
'Cause when the heat is on, you can feel the flame
When you gonna learn to go for the burn?
[Chorus]
(Burn, baby, go for the burn) Go for the burn
(Burn, baby, go for the burn) Go for the burn
(Burn, baby, go for the burn) Go for the burn
(Burn, baby, go for the burn) Go for the burn
Go for the burn
Go for the burn
Go for the burn
[Bridge]
(Burn, baby, go for the burn) Now come on
(Burn, baby, go for the burn) Now get up
(Burn, baby, go for the burn) Go for the burn
(Burn, baby, go for the burn)
You got to push (Burn, baby), push, go for the burn
Come on and push (Burn, baby), push, go for the burn
Come on and push (Burn, baby), push, go for the burn
Burn, baby, burn
When you gonna learn to go for the burn?
[Chorus]
(Burn, baby, go for the burn) Go for the burn
(Burn, baby, go for the burn) Go for the burn
(Burn, baby, go for the burn) Go for the burn
(Burn, baby, go for the burn) Go for the burn
(Burn, baby, go for the burn) Go for the burn
(Burn, baby, go for the burn) Go for the burn
(Burn, baby, go for the burn) Go for the burn
(Burn, baby, go for the burn) Go for the burn
