Ever see that damn thing, that burned out shell
For a little while that trailer must a seemed like hell

If kerosene works why not gasoline
If kerosene works why not gasoline

Wonder who the jury was decided they were all guilty

[Chorus]
If kerosene works why not gasoline

Fire started 'bout 3am you know none of 'em would survive
They hated that goddamn trailer so it burnt 'em up alive

[Chorus]
If kerosene works why not gasoline
If kerosene works why not gasoline

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
