Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I walk blind with smoke in my eyes
It's like we don't know where we've been
That's it, boy, just state your case
You're just as wrong as you were then
[Verse 2]
One tough move, throw your hands up
Say I don't make no rules, no one even knows I'm here
Now it's on you to man up
You say no weight'll hang on what you say
[Verse 3]
We're the keepers, while we sleep in America
Our house is burning down, our house is burning
We're the keepers, while we sleep in America
Our house is burning down, our house is burning
[Verse 4]
Down, down, it burns down
Our house is burning down
[Verse 5]
Ask me why, a dream get you by
But let it want, turns a dangerous thing
Watch out for it, it snakes right past
Then turns around and it sucks you in
[Verse 6]
What happens we you get stuck?
Get to the bottom of, the illusion that you're in
From the roots now, it's shook up
Know that what ails without will do you in
[Verse 7]
We're the keepers, while we sleep in America
Our house is burning down, our house is burning
We're the keepers, while we sleep in America
Our house is burning down, our house is burning
[Verse 8]
Down, down, it burns down
Our house is burning down
[Verse 9]
And not a thing, I've done
Abates my fear
And not a thing, I've done
Abates, and still although our heart's can't run
We are gone, we are gone
One the heels of what we all have done, know
[Verse 10]
We're the keepers, while we sleep in America
Our house is burning down, our house is burning
We're the keepers, while we sleep in America
Our house is burning down, our house is burning down
We're the keepers, while we sleep in America
Our house is burning down, our house is burning
We're the keepers, while we sleep in America
Our house is burning down, our house is burning
[Verse 11]
Down, down, it burns down
Our house is burning
Down, down, it burns down
Our house is burning
Down, down, it burns down
Down, down, it burns down
Down, down, it burns down
Down, down, it burns down
