World on Fire

[Verse 1] I keep watching the world trace Their circles in their places Joining the race inside a maze Look 'round, are you one of them? Yeah, see how they can all seem Pointless in worry Slow down to hurry [Chorus] The world could be on fire And we wouldn't know The temperature is rising And no one knows Hide behind the money That's the way it goes The world could be on fire And we wouldn't know [Verse 2] Complaining 'bout the same things Not watching where we're goin' Ending up 50 Somehow with nothing No don't listen to what they say I admit I know that I have Don't be the same Don't be the same [Chorus] The world could be on fire And we wouldn't know The temperature is rising And no one knows Hide behind the money That's the way it goes The world could be on fire And we wouldn't know [Bridge] And so it goes another day here Passing by I saw it waving from the window Could you save me? Keep takin' time, takin' your time But there's no time left Listen for it's almost over Yeah [Chorus] The world could be on fire And we wouldn't know The temperature is risin' And no one knows We'll hide behind the money That's the way it goes The world could be on fire And we wouldn't know
