There's a man with a look that's pretentious I can't seem to get him out Of my mind or away from the system That keeps building up and breaking down Hell bent, I keep on turning Until the wheel and screws come off There's a man with a look that's pretentious And I think he's up to something odd Fire it up and water it down Fire it up and water it down There's a child and he looks quite terrified Tears dripping from his eyes The man has the upper hand But the child makes him realize There's no escape or returning Life is what has made him blind All I want is to be left alone But the man and child are in my mind Fire it up and water it down Fire it up and water it down Fire it up and water it down Fire it up and water it down Fire it up and water it down Fire it up and water it down Fire it up and water it down Fire it up and water it down Fire it up and water it down Fire it up and water it down
