Lyrics

0:11You're playin' with fire
0:16You're playin' with fire
0:20You could be one in a million
0:23Could be walking down the street just like any civilian
0:26You could be amphibian
0:28But it still don't mean that you ain't gonna fall
0:30Victim to the april showers
0:33And the tombstone and the bouquet of old flowers
0:36Powers above who be guiding
0:38A madman at the wheel is the way we be
0:40Riding down the line
0:43Standing upon corner selling two at the time
0:47You really wanna shock it
0:48That's when you make the exchange in you pocket
0:51Lord that's the way it goes
0:53That's the way it is
0:54That's the way it happens
0:56Mister or miss
0:57It's a dog eat dog world
0:58That's the truth
0:59Especially to the youth
1:01You're playing with fire
1:04You're playing with fire
1:07You're playing with fire
1:09You're playing with fire
1:12You're playing with fire
1:14You're playing with fire
1:17You're playing with fire
1:19You'll end up on the funeral pyre and now you've
1:21Lost your soul
1:24And to all the youngsters you're a mystery role
1:27Ya think ya running the show but you're just being
1:30Used like a dirty old hole
1:32A model of travesty ya falling thru gravity
1:35Ya try to get a grip but you slip on
1:36Your sanity
1:37There's nothing you can do when you realise it's a
1:41Picture of you
1:42Is it something to reach to
1:44Being all boxed up
1:45Didn't nobody teach you
1:47They're gonna sell ya
1:48Feed you up and swell ya
1:49Like a fool in the frying pan
1:51I ain't a fortune teller
1:53I'm just a realist a catalyst
1:55And if you get the gist come closer get it
1:56Real crisp
1:57It's a dog eat dog world
1:59That's the truth
2:00Especially to the youth
2:06Ya playing with fire
2:08You're playing with fire
2:10You're playing with fire
2:13You're playing with fire
2:15You're playing with fire
2:18You're playing with fire
2:20You're playing with fire
2:23You're playing with fire
2:25You'll end up on the funeral pyre
2:37And now we're living in a cage
2:40And if you ain't got it made it's a struggle
2:42Not to fade
2:43It's all part of the game but nobody comes clean
2:46Or wanna name any names
2:48The blame the neighbourhood for something so sad
2:51Originated from a diplomatic bag
2:53I see a face in an orange haze
2:55It's just a phase a binge but I'd call it
2:57A craze
2:58Behaviour patterns going sixes and sevens see
3:01Heaven don't exist but hell's come to get thee
3:03Mars bars soda's chips all you touch
3:06And that's why you ain't looking up too much
3:08So come out of your nosedive
3:10Stop the music or you'll be dead as you arrive
3:13So come out of the nosedive
3:15Kill the sound or you'll be dead as you arrive
3:27Ya playin' with fire you're playing with fire
3:31You're playing with fire
3:34You're playing with fire
3:36You're playing with fire
3:38You're playing with fire you're playing with fire
3:41You're playing with fire
3:43You're cracked you're playing with fire
3:46You'll end up on the funeral pyre
3:51Every second every minute every hour
You're playin' with fire
You're playin' with fire
You could be one in a million
Could be walking down the street just like any civilian
You could be amphibian
But it still don't mean that you ain't gonna fall
Victim to the april showers
And the tombstone and the bouquet of old flowers
Powers above who be guiding
A madman at the wheel is the way we be
Riding down the line
Standing upon corner selling two at the time
You really wanna shock it
That's when you make the exchange in you pocket
Lord that's the way it goes
That's the way it is
That's the way it happens
Mister or miss
It's a dog eat dog world
That's the truth
Especially to the youth
You're playing with fire
You're playing with fire
You're playing with fire
You're playing with fire
You're playing with fire
You're playing with fire
You're playing with fire
You'll end up on the funeral pyre and now you've
Lost your soul
And to all the youngsters you're a mystery role
Ya think ya running the show but you're just being
Used like a dirty old hole
A model of travesty ya falling thru gravity
Ya try to get a grip but you slip on

There's nothing you can do when you realise it's a

You're playing with fire
You're playing with fire
You're playing with fire
You're playing with fire

And now we're living in a cage

Ya playin' with fire you're playing with fire
You're playing with fire
You're playing with fire
You're playing with fire
You're playing with fire you're playing with fire
You're playing with fire
You're cracked you're playing with fire
You'll end up on the funeral pyre
Every second every minute every hour
