A darkness burns through your brain As we start to lose our minds You stoke the fire with gasoline Speaking all of your lies Ignorance begets violence Yet the truth don't set us free We're just an obnoxious fuse Lit by your apathy Where there's smoke well there must be fire We look to the sky as the earth slowly turns We're stuck in the middle while you play your fiddle And you just watch as the world starts to burn You promised streets of gold With your shined out silver tongue We still keep our hope Though the fumes fill up our lungs And all that will be left After you torch all our souls Are the ashes of a blackened world Left in your afterglow Where there's smoke well there must be fire We look to the sky as the earth slowly turns We're stuck in the middle while you play your fiddle And you just watch as the world starts to burn As the world starts to burn As the world starts to burn As the world starts to burn Where there's smoke well there must be fire We look to the sky as the earth slowly turns We're stuck in the middle while you play your fiddle And you just watch as the world starts to burn As the world starts to burn As the world starts to burn As the world starts to burn Burn
