Fire in the Western World

The red sky's moaning and the wind is blowing hard

Better take warning 'cause this time it's gone too far

We been smoking it more, enjoying it less

We better stop using or there'll be nothing left

The eyes of defiance are slowly being crushed to death

There's a fire in the western world

Fire in the western world

The house in shambles, trip wires under the door

Eighteen, wasted, trying to hide the crack in the floor

Don't know what you're doing, don't really care

School's just a miss-hit going nowhere

You're running for your life while the scandals are burning the stairs

There's a fire in the western world

Fire in the western world

Can't you hear the rooster crowing in the dead of the night?

Don't you wanna trash 'em, jackboots step out of line

It's a concrete jungle, stones and tears

Fast becoming what everybody fears

It ain't just color the message keeps cutting clear

There's a fire in the western world

Fire in the western world
