Fire

It seemed like everyone I knew was dying I looked in the mirror and I was on fire Somebody yelled out "Hey, stop, drop, and roll!" I said "That might save my skin, but it won't save my soul That might save my skin, but it won't save my soul" You swallow hard and you bottle it up Try to pretend you're a half full cup Believe what they're feeding, you're eating it up While I'm reading books about how they're corrupt I'm reading books about how they're corrupt He says he's protecting us but he's a liar I know deep down that it's down to the wire My heart will stop if I put out the fire As long as I'm burning I'll keep on yearning To save the world Not sure how but I'm learning Since what they call the beginning of man Blood has been shed for the rape of the land They call it civilized, I call it crap Our only hope is to look further back Our only hope is to look further back If we really want for this world to survive We'll just take what we need to stay alive It's a mistake to just take and not give It's not true that we must murder to live It's not true that we must murder to live He says he's protecting us but he's a liar I know deep down that it's down to the wire My heart will stop if I put out the fire As long as I'm burning I'll keep on yearning To save the world Not sure how but I'm learning And telling the truth the best way that I'm able Placing my cards all face up on the table It's okay to be scared, you do don't have to act tough Take all that pain and turn it into love Take all that pain and turn it into love And let your emotions be fuel to your flame Being on fire will keep you awake If somebody yells out "Hey, stop, drop, and roll!" Say "That might save my skin, but it won't save my soul That might save my skin, but it won't save my soul"
