Cm                A#
I wanna light my soul on fire
              F
Sit back and watch it burn
Then call my enemies over
And let them take their turn
Let's see whose flame burns brighter
Let's see who is ready to quit
Let's talk about where you come from
And what you're gonna do with it

Chorus:
Cm
We want the same thing
But it just ain't good enough
We want the whole world
But it just ain't good enough
We wanna stay cool
But it just ain't good enough
We keep our nose clean
But it just ain't good enough

You know nothing about me
You're always gonna doubt me
So try to live without my
Passionately-crazy, allergic to the lazy
I'm walking into work like (Fuck yeah!)
Never waste a minute of the moment 'cause I'm in it
The chance that I've been given, right?
The life that I am living, forgiveness is for giving
So fuck it, fuck it, come on

Chorus

I believe this is my life
It's your life, it's our life, in all life
We mold like it's fucking clay
I believe this is my life
It's your life, it's our life, in all life,
it's all life yeah
I believe this is my life
It's your life, it's our life, in all life
We mold like it's fucking clay
I believe this is ours...

Chorus
