| Well there’s some high and mighty people
|
| In this big judgemental world
|
| They’ve got morals, to which they must aspire
|
| But these high and mighty people
|
| They find it so distressing
|
| That everybody’s messin' with fire
|
| Well you told me lots of stories
|
| You said look but do not touch
|
| Well babe we all do things we don’t admire
|
| So don’t sit there and plead with me
|
| Just hush your mouth, take heed of me
|
| Cause everybody’s messin' with fire
|
| It’s a certain kind of hunger, but I guess it’s hard to name
|
| But you’ll know when you start dancing to its tune
|
| And its true there’s always something somewhere
|
| Waiting to burst into flame
|
| Mrs Holier than thou, look who’s got the matches now!
|
| See how the people are carrying secret dreams
|
| Look at all the hearts out there for hire
|
| Well look at all those creeping hands that never learnt their lesson
|
| Cause everybody’s messin' with fire
|
| You know those history books have taught us
|
| That since this world began
|
| Oh so many fingers have been burned
|
| So who are you to tell me how to live my life right here and now?
|
| Take a good look down this list — Baby we’re all arsonists!
|
| You call me Satins other child, and said I’d burn in hell
|
| Well, Sugar Plum I know you’re just a liar
|
| 'Cause God gave me his blessing to keep you people guessin'
|
| 'Bout everybody messin' with fire
|
| Cause everybody’s messin' with fire
|
| Well everybody’s messin' with fire! |
