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 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 she'd 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 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 hafta 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"
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 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 she'd 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 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 hafta 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!"
