Bottle Rockets – Kerosene lyrics
1st verse
Ever see that damn thing, that burned out shell
For a little while that trailer must a seemed like hell

Chorus
If kerosene works why not gasoline
If kerosene works why not gasoline

2nd verse
Kids wore rags, he never worked too much
Who's the judge to decide how this world can punish

Chorus
If kerosene works why not gasoline
If kerosene works why not gasoline

3rd verse
Now the welfare check won't pay for the electricty
wonder who the jury was decided they were all guilty

Chorus
If kerosene works why not gasoline
If kerosene works why not gasoline

4th verse
Fire started 'bout 3am you know none of 'em would survive
They hated that goddamn trailer so it burnt 'em up alive

Chorus
If kerosene works why not gasoline
If kerosene works why not gasoline

5th verse
In a pure perfect world that tells no lies,
Burn you down you try to...improvise

Chorus
If kerosene works why not gasoline
If kerosene works why not gasoline
If kerosene works why not gasoline
If kerosene works why not gasoline
