The World Is On Fire

Lyrics

There's always a story, a story to tell A story to sell to the news A sweet virgin princess gave death in the bathroom While her boyfriend cleaned his shoes And gin pushed a low light to turn on his good wife When he stuck a knife in her throat And coke loves the ratings 'cause you love the horror As long as it didn't come home Faith is weak She's running out of steam And fate is tired I'm so fed up, you're all fired Oh America, you're beautiful Yeah, you're beautiful when you're sleeping Lovers, you are loved You are loved when you're grieving Now I am a father and I am a brother I've tried and I'm trying still Why life is so precious but piles like garbage I guess it's our passion that kills But somewhere it's peaceful and morning is dawning All soft and warm in desire But a darkness is creeping while the news is spreading And again the world is on fire Faith is weak She's running out of steam And fate is tired I'm so fed up, you're all fired Oh America, you're beautiful Yeah, you're beautiful when you're sleeping Lovers, you are loved You are loved when you're grieving
