Lyrics

They said when will you learn
If you play with fire you're gonna get burned
But if you don't you may never feel the heat at all
I'd rather burn alive than be too afraid to fall
Bring on the fire
There was a rebel of a man down in Tennessee
Was told only whites drink this tap for free
He sat down poured a glass anyway
In court a week later he was shackled in chains
Said yeah I'm gonna do it again
Drink that water til my dying day
They said when will you learn
If you play with fire you're gonna get burned
But if you don't you many never feel the heat at all
I'd rather burn alive than be too afraid to fall
Bring on the fire
She loved him with all of her might
Didn't care that her skin was white
They got married in the hot summer sun
Thought she was crazy
Losing her mind
But she wore her heels and her head up high
Said that love was worth her life
When will we learn
When will we learn
When will we learn
When will we learn
It's not about glory
It's not about fight
I wanna do something
With meaning tonight
But there's fear in our hearts
From these words in our minds
To overcome that we need one
Hell of a fire
Bring on the fire
Bring on the fire
Bring on the fire
