World On Fire

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

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

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

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

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

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
