The Bottle Rockets — Kerosene lyrics

Lyrics

Ever see that damn thing, that burned out shell?
For a little while that trailer must’ve seemed like Hell
If kerosene works, why not gasoline?
If kerosene works, why not gasoline?
Kids wore rags, he never worked too much
Who’s the judge to decide how this world can punish?
Now the welfare check won’t pay for the electricity
Wonder who the jury was decided they were all guilty?
Fire started 'bout 3 am, you know none of 'em would survive
They hated that goddamn trailer, so it burnt 'em up alive
In a pure perfect world that tells no lies
Burn you down you try to improvise
If kerosene works, why not gasoline?
If kerosene works, why not gasoline?
If kerosene works, why not gasoline?
If kerosene works, why not gasoline?
