If You Love Somebody, Set Them On Fire Lyrics - Dead Milkmen

(sound of match striking) 

Know that it would be untrue 

Know that I would be a liar 

If I was to say to you 

I didn't set your house on fire 

But it's just the way I am 

Have to take it for a fact 

Life can really burn you up 

When you're a pyromaniac 

So... 

If you love somebody 

Better set them on fire

I went to your house last night 

Dad called me the human torch 

Got a little pissed at him 

So I burned down your front porch 

Now I feel a little better 

About throwin' gas on your dad 

But you know it's hard to quit 

And besides he started it 

I just bought a brand new lighter 

And I just can't wait to use it 

With a can a' kerosene it's lots a' fun 

You can't refuse it 

Oily rags are special things 

You know to me they're diamond rings 

Maybe we can have some fun 

Maybe we can burn someone 

So...

If you love somebody 

Better set them on fire 

Know that it would be untrue 

Know that I would be a liar 

If I was to say to you 

I didn't set your dad on fire 

If you love somebody 

Better set them on fire 

If you love somebody 

Why not set them on fire? 

If you love somebody 

Better set them on fire 

If you love somebody 

Why not set them on fire?
