After All (From the Sun)

[Intro]

(Oh, boy!)

[Verse 1]

When you try to compete, but they've already won

And the family you lift, it weighs a ton

When everything's already said and done

And you're standing alone in the mid-day sun

And the water's dried up upon the shore

And you just cannot give them any more

When you're finally rich, but they're still poor

There's gonna be something you can't ignore

[Chorus]

Thus, the world is set on fire

Yeah, I tried to warn off everyone, but they never did learn

Yeah, I'm only scared of dying if I've got something left to give

[Verse 2]

When you're lightyears away from getting off

And all of the radicals are getting soft

When the stubborn old man, he lives to scoff

And the rest of the world is too aloft

When the water's dried up upon the shore

And you just cannot give them any more

When you're finally rich, but they're still poor

There's gonna be something you can't ignore

[Chorus]

Thus, the world is set on fire

Yeah, I tried to warn off everyone, but they never did learn

Yeah, I'm only scared of dying if I have something left to give

[Outro]
