Heaven's On Fire

People see rock and roll as, as youth culture, and when youth culture becomes monopolised by big business, what are the youth to do?

Do you, do you have any idea? I think we should destroy the bogus capitalist process that is destroying youth culture. [Thurston Moore]

When I look at you, heaven's on fire

I wish I didn't know you better, but it's pointless

One look at you and heaven's on fire

When I look at you, I reach for a piano wire

Fighting to keep it together, but it's pointless

One look at you and heaven's on fire, heaven's on fire

It seems like everyone is on your side

We're outnumbered by those who take no pride

In constantly moving against the tide

Charlatans just out of reach and out of time

I'm a little like you, ugly on the inside

But while I dive into the gritty you just stand by

When I look at you, heaven's on fire, heaven's on fire

It seems like everyone is on your side

We're outnumbered by those who take no pride

In constantly moving against the tide

Charlatans just out of reach and out of time
