Burning Up
Backbeat Soundsystem

Steppin’, steppin’, steppin’ on a tightrope.

You never learnt from your lessons, boy.

You better watch how you’re going.

Steppin’ on a tightrope. Go steady under street lights, yeah.


Better find a fix for your lost curiosity,

Where's your sense of living? All I see is animosity.

It's not my feeling, it's a call of the majority.

Get up out of your seat,

There's a change in authority.


Why can’t you listen?

Why can’t you see it’s clear?

Now that you’ve got it,

Ya keep it coming now, keep it coming right now.


You get no, no respect so, you carry on ‘til it’s over, over.

Ain’t got no time to discuss, in time we can trust but it’s over, over.

We ain’t no, carry our regrets no, carry no respect ‘til it’s over, over.

Ain’t got no time to discuss, in time we can trust but it’s over, over.


I been thinking, yeah. I’m thinking it all over.

You never know what you think you do.

You better watch what you’re doing,

Or jump into the fire. Delve deeper into your mind.


Yeah, try to make a change, don't go preying on my property.

I still gotta get to the cause of your philosophy.

Take but give nothing, no time for apology.

I'll never follow in the path of your minority.


Why can’t you listen?

Why can’t you see it’s clear?

Now that you’ve got it,

Ya keep it coming now, keep it coming right now.



You get no, no respect so, you carry on ‘til it’s over, over.

Ain’t got no time to discuss, in time we can trust but it’s over, over.

We ain’t no, carry our regrets no, carry no respect ‘til it’s over, over.

Ain’t got no time to discuss, in time we can trust but it’s over, over.


Have you got guts for the game?

Questions they will never ask to the sane.

I carry out more on a click track,

No crook, No thief, No street rat.

Lawbreaker. short-cut-taker.

Ain’t one of them, write rules on paper.

No violence just for the shake up,

No dustbin kids from a break up.

Shake hands, make friends, I’d rather make up.

(Just catch up and wake up now)

You can make more money, I make no money fast.

There’s a lot in a life that I pass.

You’re gonna get stuck like that, caught in a rut, get stopped like that.

Yeah, I don’t wanna be like that,

Knocked out or locked up like that


Hold back, raise your hands up to the sky.

If they’ve got a problem, pick ‘em out and tell ‘em why...

Every time you push it, I feel the ground shake when you push it.

Every time you tell a new tale, and you’re caught in the act,

I don’t wanna hear about it.

Every time you push it, every time I feel the ground shake when you push it.


You get no, no respect so, you carry on ‘til it’s over, over.

Ain’t got no time to discuss, in time we can trust but it’s over, over.

We ain’t no, carry our regrets no, carry no respect ‘til it’s over, over.

Ain’t got no time to discuss, in time we can trust but it’s over, over.
