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"
