The King Blues Lyrics

"Set the World on Fire" lyrics


I wake up in the morning take Big Pharma Lozenges
Swallowin' the juice of Israeli blood oranges
Then I sit down and read the newspaper
It tells me the enemy and lets me know the savior
This week's flavor, asylum seekers
As I lace up my blood-stained sneakers
I turn on the television, what have I got?
The war wages on and it's only 8 o'clock!

Fire, fire, well I wanna set the world on fire
Fire, fire, yeah I wanna set the world on fire
Watch it all burn down, we can start again
Fire, fire, fire, fire

They say it's just been invented and it's now in shop
Heaven sent it and cures with just one drop!
So pay the doctor, so be the snipper
We want bigger tits, bigger bigger bigger yeah
This is how we use the greatest minds in science
Not a cure for cancer but a profit for giants
They blind the clients with advertisements
And security heightens
They ain't progress, it's violence

Fire, fire, well I wanna set the world on fire
Fire, fire, yeah I wanna set the world on fire
Watch it all burn down, we can start again
Fire, fire, fire, fire

I make him notice my grotesque protest music
The choice is yours you can slate it or use it
Fight the power!? Man, WE are the power
Planting seeds in concrete streets and they flower
Politics and love ain't meant to be sinister
Primitive but I can't find anything similar
I float around the perimeter
I hope the follow the mob to lynch the Prime Minister!

Fire, fire, well I wanna set the world on fire
Fire, fire, yeah I wanna set the world on fire
Yeah I wanna set the world, I wanna set the world on fire
Watch it all burn down, we can start again
Fire, fire, fire, fire
Fire, fire, fire, fire
(Watch it all burn down, we can start again)
Fire, fire, fire, fire
