World On Fire

[Verse 1]

I said I wasn't gon' check on the news today

A fan of Marvin, but I think I'll make blues today

The world is outta rhythm, another cataclysm

These schisms got me shrouded deep in doubt more than usually

I feel defeated in my victories, keep my family from misery

But visibly bombarded by bombers physically sickens me

Helpless as a father's a psychological trauma

That I wouldn't wish upon all my enemies

No honor is in these thieves, made martyrdom industry

No karma could ever equate the sum of a sentencin'

What's left is this energy that convеrts into entropy

Or worse, a vengеance wit' no intention on endin' things

Forever is a mighty long time to ever do anything

Imagine if you only ever dreamed of rememberin'

A sadness we all try to numb with the simple things

We share and we share; empathy becomes sympathy we share

[Chorus]

I say the world's on fire, and ya body is the wood

Ain't burnt yet—keep survivin' in ya hood

Blind eye threats—wouldn't hide if I could

Lines ain't left—better mind where you stood

War goin' on inside where it's safe

Love under siege, and them thugs near the gate

Civilized killers in disguised as the good

But you can't fool all the people all the time

[Verse 2]

Younger generations are idealist, older generations provide ceilin's

Knowin' that their way of life is threatened, and they set on the lie

Feelin' the changin' tide, knowin' that the truth has arrived

Fearin' they time nearin'

Behind dealin's in public eye, and wonder why

It's not made to hide like they other crimes

Age of information ain't a place you could summarize

And tell it how you want without a word from the other side

Serial imperials, a pattern of victimhood

Shootin' ain't euphoric if you shot—it don't feel as good

Homicidal generals a pawn in a chess game

Mongers invest in the same harm they're protestin'

Your Honor, I'm guessing it won't let up 'til net gains

They'll have hand in death and just except that it left stains

What is there to gain from bein' humble except pain?

No matter the life, to be alive is the blessing—sing

[Chorus]

I say the world's on fire, and ya body is the wood

Ain't burnt yet—keep survivin' in ya hood

Blind eye threats—wouldn't hide if I could

Lines ain't left—better mind where you stood

War goin' on inside where it's safe

Love under siege, and them thugs near the gate

Civilized killers in disguised as the good

But you can't fool all the people all the time
