 Pre-Verse:
 Pardon me while I burst
 ...  (Wo-oah's)
A  decade ago,
 I never thought I would  be,
at  twenty-three, on the verge of
spontaneous  combustion. -Woe-is-me.-
But  I guess that it comes
with  the territory,
An  ominous landscape of
never-ending  calamity.
I  need you to hear,
I  need you to see
that  I have had all I can take and
exploding  seems like an imminent possibility
to  me
So  pardon me while I burst
into  flames.
I've  had enough of the world
and  its people's  mindless games.
So  pardon me while I burn
and  rise above the flame.
Pardon  me,  pardon me...
I'll  never be the same!
 (x2) xx (x2)  (x2) xx (x2)
Not  two days ago,
 I was having  a look
 in a book
and  I saw a picture of a guy
fried  up above his knee.
I  said, "I can relate,"
cause  lately I've been thinking of combustication
as  a welcome vacation from
the  burdens of
the  planet Earth.
like  gravity, hypocrisy,
and  the perils of being in 3-D...
but  thinking so much differently.
So  pardon me while I burst
into  flames.
I've  had enough of the world
and  its people's  mindless games.
So  pardon me while I burn
and  rise above the flame.
Pardon  me,  pardon me...
I'll  never be the same!
Never  be the same, yeah...
Pardon  me, while  I burst  into flames...
Pardon  me, pardon  me, pardon  me.
So  pardon me while I burst
into  flames.
I've  had enough of the world
and  its people's  mindless games.
So  pardon me while I burn
and  rise above the flame.
Pardon  me,  pardon me...
I'll  never be the same!
Never  be the same, yeahh!!
