World On Fire

I keep watching the world
Chase their circles in their places
Joining the race inside a maze
Look 'round, are you one of them?
Yeah, see how they can all see
Pointless and worry
So down to hurry

The world could be on fire
And we wouldn't know
The temperature is rising
And no one knows
We'll hide behind the money
That's the way it goes
The world could be on fire
And we wouldn't know

Complaining about the same things
Not watching where we're going
Ending up 50
Somehow with nothing
Oh, don't listen to what they say
I admit I know that I have
Don't be the same
Don't be the same

The world could be on fire
And we wouldn't know
The temperature is rising
And no one knows
We'll hide behind the money
That's the way it goes
The world could be on fire
And we wouldn't know

And so it goes another day here
Passing by
I saw it waving from the window
Could you save me?
Keep taking time, taking your time
But there's no time left
Listen for it's almost over

The world could be on fire
And we wouldn't know
The temperature is rising
And no one knows
We'll hide behind the money
That's the way it goes
The world could be on fire
And we wouldn't know
