Burn, also known as You Can Be So Careless, is the seventh track on Banjo Story.
Description[]
This is another pretty forgettable Banjo Story song. The lyrics mostly don't make sense, but some still do and are amusing. Some of the lyrics are self-deprecating. The song is usually referred to as "You Can Be So Careless" which was the name given to the track by bootleggers, but the original Banjo Story artwork lists it as "Burn", and it's the official name. The name probably refers to the insults, or burns in the song.
Lyrics[]
I was a brush stroke in the plan, an expendable man
A stepping stone, a houseplant
No goodbye, no thanks, just left to fill in the blanks
Honey, if the shoe fits, you better walk on
'Cause you can be so careless
Always change your mind
Will you look at that girl down on the street?
Making every little part of me sick to see
That killjoy kind of loving they teach
I'd rather be a drip in the bathroom sink
'Cause you can be so careless
Always change your mind
I was all for the damage, junk all in the hand
Cast off with that flick of the hand
I'm not your donkey, nor your jack-ass
Matchstick burnin' in a field of grass
'Cause you can be so careless
Always change your mind
Be hateful, be kind and be burned
Everything behind me burn
Be hateful, be kind and be burned
Everything behind me, now burn
