Playing With Matches |
Read the paper in said that we’ve |
Got one child in eight that goes hungry |
That our people just aren’t learning to read |
Listen to the sound |
There’s a call for help that’s getting louder |
A plea for justice when none is offered |
If a rock gets thrown the glass will shatter |
Listen for the sound |
Playing with matches, playing with fire |
Playing with the earth for our own desires |
God’s not a gun that’s up for hire |
Listen to the sound |
Wrote a letter to the President |
When he said «God's on our side» |
Pray for peace by build this war |
And victory will be mine" |
I said «You're playing with matches, playing with fire |
Playing with the earth for your own desires |
God’s not a gun that’s up for hire |
Listen to the sound |
It’s not too late, it’s not too late |
I still believe, I still believe |
We could be fine, we could be great |
We could get our people what they really need |
One more time we flirt with disaster |
Threaten to scorch the earth forever after |
We can’t hear the sound of the devil’s laughter |
Listen for the sound |
'Cause the earth can get angry and it won’t pull punches |
If we throw her away like these fast food lunches |
And we’ll stand like sheep in frightened bunches |
Listen for the sound |
Playing with matches, playing with fire |
Playing with the earth for our own desires |
God’s not a gun that’s up for hire |
Listen to the sound |
