The Bottle Rockets - Kerosene lyrics

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?
