Kerosene

Ever see that damn thing, that burned out shell?
For a little while that trailer must've seemed like Hell

[Chorus]
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?

[Chorus]

Now the welfare check won't pay for the electricity
Wonder who the jury was decided they were all guilty?

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

In a pure perfect world that tells no lies
Burn you down you try to improvise

[Outro]
If kerosene works, why not gasoline?
If kerosene works, why not gasoline?
If kerosene works, why not gasoline?
If kerosene works, why not gasoline?
