Nickelback – Burn It To The Ground
“We got no fear, no doubt, all in, balls out”
Burn It To The Ground is one of the many singles of the album Dark Horse. It was actually the song which made me Nickelback-fan, back in 2010. Nickelback performed the song at the closing ceremony of the Winter Olympics in Vancouver in 2010. The popularity of the song gained a lot by that performance. It’s just a very good song.

Lyrics
Well it’s midnight, damn right
We’re wound up too tight
I gotta fist full of whiskey
The bottle just bit me
That shit makes me
Bat shit crazy
We got no fear, no doubt
All in, balls out
We’re going off tonight
To kick out every light
Take anything we want
Drink everything in sight
We’ll go until the world stops turning
While we burn it to the ground tonight
We’re screamin like demons
And swingin’ from the ceiling
I gotta fistful of fifties
Tequila just bit me
No class no taste
No shirt ’n shit faced
We got ‘em lined up shot down
Firin’ back straight crown
We’re going off tonight
To kick out every light
Take anything we want
Drink everything in sight
We’ll go until the world stops turning
While we burn it to the ground tonight
Tickin’ like a time bomb
Drinkin’ till the night’s gone
Get your hands off this glass
Last call my ass
No chains no lock
‘N’ this train won’t stop
We got no fear, no doubt
All in, balls out
We’re going off tonight
To kick out every light
Take anything we want
Drink everything in sight
We’ll go until the world stops turning
While we burn it to the ground tonight
We’re going off tonight
To kick out every light
Take anything we want
Drink everything in sight
We’ll go until the world stops turning
While we burn it to the ground tonight
Opinion Daniël
It’s not their best song in my opinion. The song has the same amount of energy the whole time and you expect a peak which doesn’t come. That’s why it’s not a very good song.

Maybe I have listened this a bit too much. In my opinion it’s a great song. The couplets are good and the refrain is just awesome. I think it’s one of their better songs, although I have heard it a bit too much I think.

Opinion Timothy
During the first part of the song it looks like now it starts to become good, but that part doesn’t come. Only the refrains are good. After that comes the musical solo, which is a bit long in my opinion. The second part of the song doesn’t give me the feeling that it starts to become good, which I have at the first part.
