[Verse 1]
Alarm at seven
I hit delete
Homework buried
Under my seat
Teacher talking
Like some slow-song drone
I'm scribbling dreams
In the margin zone
[Pre-Chorus]
They say
"Sit straight
Don't raise your voice"
But I got lungs
I got a choice (hey!)
[Chorus]
We were born to burn it down at 17
Kick the doors and write our names where they can't clean
If the world says "no"
We just scream
"we'll see"
We were born to burn it down at 17 (whoa)
Born to burn it down at 17
[Verse 2]
Sneak out window
Two shoes
One plan
Backpack rattling
Spray cans
Wristbands
Parking lot throne
Made of busted carts
Turn that dead-end
Into a kickstart
[Pre-Chorus]
They say
"Calm down
Life's not a race"
But I got fire
Under my laces (yeah!)
[Chorus]
We were born to burn it down at 17
Kick the doors and write our names where they can't clean
If the world says "no"
We just scream
"we'll see"
We were born to burn it down at 17 (whoa)
Born to burn it down at 17
[Bridge]
So here's to the flunk-outs
Daydream
Dropout crowd
To every detention
Where we laughed too loud
If there’s a rulebook
Hand it here to me
I’ll rip out the pages
You count
“one
Two
Three!” (hey!)
[Chorus]
We were born to burn it down at 17
Kick the doors and write our names where they can't clean
If the world says "no"
We just scream
"we'll see"
We were born to burn it down at 17 (whoa)
Born to burn it down at 17 (whoa)
Yeah
We’re gonna burn it down at 17
