Fight or Flight

[Verse 1]
I was gonna live in poverty, but I changed my mind
Money's so much better
I was bothered by all of the green, so I went inside
Home is so much safer

[Pre-Chorus]
I want money
Come on, let's get comfortable
Take down the neighborhood
Put up something cynical
Turn around, turn around, turn around
'Cause we built this town on rock and roll
And we'll burn it down when the decade's over

[Chorus]
Fight or flight, fight or flight
Make it into something beautiful
Then ruin it with a TV show
You know it's ripe, PDX all night
'Cause we built this town on rock and roll
And we'll burn it down when it gets old
We'll burn it down when it gets old

[Verse 2]
Am I here by accident?
Oh, hell no, I am not
I clawed my way from the bottom
Now I'm halfway to the top
Crucify, crucify, crucify
Everyone who played a part in it
Knock it down and put a condo in

[Chorus]
Fight or flight, fight or flight
Make it into something beautiful
Then ruin it with a TV show
You know it's ripe, PDX all night
'Cause we built this town on rock and roll
And we'll burn it down when it gets old
We'll burn it down when it gets old

[Pre-Chorus]
So I want money
Come on, let's get comfortable
Take down the neighborhood
Put up something cynical
Turn around, turn around, turn around
'Cause we built this town on rock and roll
And we'll burn it down when the decade's over

[Chorus]
Fight or flight, fight or flight
Make it into something beautiful
Then ruin it with a TV show
You know it's ripe, PDX all night
'Cause we built this town on rock and roll
And we'll burn it down when the decade's over
You know it's ripe, PDX all night
'Cause we built this town on rock and roll
And we'll burn it down when it gets old

[Post-Chorus]
(Oh) We'll burn it down when it gets old
(Oh, oh) We'll burn it down when it gets old
(Oh, oh, oh) We'll burn it down when it gets old
