There is fire on the mountain
|
And nobody seems to be on the run
|
Oh there is fire on the mountain top
|
And no one is running
|
|
I wake up in the morning
|
Tell you what I see on my TV screen
|
I see the blood of an innocent child
|
And everybody's watching
|
|
Now I'm looking out my window
|
And what do I see
|
I see an army of a soldier man
|
Marching across the street
|
|
Hey Mr. soldier man
|
Tomorrow is the day you go to war
|
But you are fighting for another man's cause
|
And you don't even know him
|
|
What did he say to make you so blind
|
To your conscience and reason
|
Could it be love for your country
|
Or for the gun you use in killing
|
|
There is fire on the mountain
|
And nobody seems to be on the run
|
Oh there is fire on the mountain top
|
And no one is running
|
|
Hey Mr. Lover man
|
Can I get a chance to talk to you
|
Cause you are fooling with a dead man's corpse
|
And you don't know what you do
|
|
So you say you have a lover
|
And you love her like no other
|
So you buy her a diamond
|
That someone has died on
|
Don't you think there's something wrong with this?
|
|
Tell me who's responsible
|
For what we teach our children?
|
Is it the internet?
|
Or the stars on television?
|
Why o why o
|
|
So little Lucy turns sixteen
|
And like the movie she's been seeing
|
She has a lover in her daddy
|
She can't tell nobody
|
'Til she makes the evening news
|
|
There is fire on the mountain
|
And nobody seems to be on the run
|
Oh there is fire on the mountain top
|
And no one is running
|
|
One day the river will over flow
|
And there'll be nowhere for us to go
|
And we will run, run
|
Wishing we had put out the fire
|
