Lyrics

Mmm, yeah, oooh yeah, ah-ha

We're in a house of cards (oooh yeah)
The walls are getting weak
And when those walls come down (ah-ha)
I'll be the first to leave

Controlling all my life (oooh yeah)
Why won't you let me be?
It's easy to escape (ah-ha)
It's harder staying free

Mmm, yeah, oooh yeah, ah-ha

We're in a house of cards (oooh yeah)
The walls are getting weak
And when those walls come down (ah-ha)
I'll be the first to leave

Controlling all my life
Why won't you let me be?
It's easy to escape (ah-ha)
It's harder staying free

When the walls fall down
I will watch them burn
In the heat of the fire
I'm gonna make you learn
Give me a lighter!

Wooooh yeah, oh-woah yeah
I'm gonna let it burn
Ooooh yeah, oh-woah yeah
I'm gonna let it burn

I'm gonna let it burn

I'm gonna watch you burn
