The world has got some plans for me Courthouse, jails, and factories Black and whites on the street For me, for me I see my place in American waste Faced with choices I can't take American waste, American waste On my own, I see my fate I'm alone, on the way out Small enough, it's all spelled out I know what I see, what I want The doors are closed in this maze I see my place in American waste Faced with choices I can't take American waste, American waste On my own, I see my fate Boredom looks for its kicks Going down on death I see it comin', I can't do anythin' ♪ Not for me, not for me I won't end up in the heap I want out, I'm free Burnin', burnin' I see my place in American waste Faced with choices I can't take American waste, American waste On my own, I see my fate
