Staring At The Fire

[00:00.00] I've always had trouble staying still
[00:04.65] I stand next to what I hate just for the trill
[00:09.21] Spent the first quarter of my life on a million dollar bill
[00:14.67] 'Cause I can't stop staring at the fire
[00:19.41] We got our crosses and our buildings, build 'em tall
[00:24.86] And my book's another brick inside the wall
[00:29.78] We sure make ourselves feel busy, but we don't do much at all
[00:34.49] Except sit around and stare at the fire
[00:39.97] And the protesters have gathered in the streets
[00:45.40] Opposite, a block full of police
[00:49.63] But they both have the same problem with God as you and me
[00:54.41] It's that they just can't stop staring at the fire
[00:59.71] Watch it burn, burn, burn
[01:04.08] Watch it burn, burn, burn
[01:08.40] Watch it burn, burn, burn
[01:12.75] Watch it burn, burn, burn
[01:16.95] And to an ashram a million miles from here
[01:22.75] An old man on a blanket appeared
[01:27.65] He waved me to come closer, and he whispered in my ear
[01:32.18] "Son, you've got to stop staring at the fire"
[01:37.72] But all my ego trips come in flocks
[01:42.42] And they tell me, "Kid, it's really not that hot"
[01:46.83] Take your anxiety and your guilt, just throw it all on top
[01:52.18] Now I can't stop standing in the fire
[01:56.93] Oh, watch me burn, burn, burn
[02:01.50] Watch me burn, burn, burn
[02:05.92] Watch me burn, burn, burn
[02:10.33] Watch me burn, burn, burn
[02:14.48] Oh, watch me burn, burn, burn
[02:18.97] Watch me burn, burn, burn
[02:23.45] Watch me burn, burn, burn
[02:27.89] Watch me burn, burn, bur
[02:30.63]
