| Don’t ever do what you’re told,
|
| The old are just old,
|
| Children play with matches start a fire.
|
| Children play with fire, tend a blaze (x2),
|
| You know where he keeps his drinks
|
| And lots of poisons under the sink,
|
| Children play with fire, tend a blaze.
|
| (Chorus)
|
| The world is dry and brittle and dead,
|
| It’ll go up in a flash.
|
| If we mix it all together, oh what a colorful blast!
|
| Only shout when spoken to,
|
| Curse your way through church and school,
|
| And mess around with father’s power tools.(x2)
|
| Children play beyond the «Keep Out"signs (x2),
|
| And if the owners send you home,
|
| It’s bottles, rocks, and stones,
|
| Children play beyond the «Keep Out"signs,
|
| Chorus
|
| Children lead us to the lake of fire FIRE (x2),
|
| And as we drive down into the flames,
|
| Maybe I’ll let you hold the reigns,
|
| Children lead us to the lake of fire (x2),
|
| Children play with matches, start a fire (x2)
|
| Just a little gasoline and watch the people scream… Children play with
|
| matches start a fire. |
