| [00:00.305][Verse 1] |
|
| [00:00.600] |
I've always had trouble staying still |
| [00:04.588] |
I stand next to what I hate just for the trill |
| [00:09.164] |
Spent the first quarter of my life on a million dollar bill |
| [00:14.401] |
'Cause I can't stop staring at the fire |
| [00:19.468] |
We've got our crosses and our buildings, build 'em tall |
| [00:24.378] |
And my book's another brick inside the wall |
| [00:29.601] |
We sure make ourselves feel busy, but we don't do much at all |
| [00:34.448] |
Except sit around and stare at the fire |
| [00:39.968] |
And the protesters have gathered in the streets |
| [00:45.101] |
Opposite, a block full of police |
| [00:49.576] |
But they both have the same problem with God as you and me |
| [00:54.457] |
It's that they just can't stop staring at the fire |
| [00:57.983][Chorus] |
|
| [00:59.684] |
Watch it burn, burn, burn |
| [01:04.134] |
Watch it burn, burn, burn |
| [01:08.372] |
Watch it burn, burn, burn |
| [01:12.851] |
Watch it burn, burn, burn |
| [01:15.849][Verse 2] |
|
| [01:16.937] |
And to an ashram a million miles from here |
| [01:22.616] |
An old man on a blanket appeared |
| [01:27.405] |
He waved me to come closer, and he whispered in my ear |
| [01:31.959] |
"Son, you've got to stop staring at the fire" |
| [01:37.743] |
But all my ego trips come in flocks |
| [01:41.978] |
And they tell me, "Kid, it's really not that hot" |
| [01:46.846] |
Take your anxiety and your guilt, just throw it all on top |
| [01:52.022] |
Now I can't stop standing in the fire |
| [01:55.173][Chorus] |
|
| [01:56.951] |
Oh, watch me burn, burn, burn |
| [02:01.462] |
Watch me burn, burn, burn |
| [02:05.887] |
Watch me burn, burn, burn |
| [02:10.248] |
Watch me burn, burn, burn |
| [02:14.449] |
Oh, watch me burn, burn, burn |
| [02:18.842] |
Watch me burn, burn, burn |
| [02:23.259] |
Watch me burn, burn, burn |
| [02:27.746] |
Watch me burn, burn, burn |
| [02:30.914] |
|
