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 |
