This House Is On Fire

This house is on fire

Well, kick of your boots, come sit a spell

Listen to me worry, come on listen well

All you better best come and lean in, boys

I don't dare to raise my voice

I've been sitting here for the longest time

Reading all the warning and all the danger signs

Boy, but I don't have the gift of the prophecy

Telling everybody how it, it's gonna be

Soon come, soon come the day

This tinder box is gonna blow in your face, your face, your face

But I don't have the gift of the prophecy

Telling everybody how it's gonna be

You go passing wrong for right and right for wrong

People only stand for that for just so long

It's all gonna catch like a house on fire

Spark an evil blaze and burn higher

Well, I don't have the gift of the prophecy

Telling everybody how it's gonna be

You go passing wrong for right and right for wrong

People only stand for that for just so long

I don't have the gift of the prophecy

Telling everybody how it's gonna be

There's a wild fire catching in the whip of the wind

Could start a conflagration like there has never been

This house is on fire

This house is on fire
