0:30This house is on fire
1:01Kick off your boots come and sit a spell
1:05Listen to me worry come and listen well
1:14All you better best come and lean in boys
1:18Cause I don't dare to raise my voice
1:30I've been sitting here for the longest time
1:34Reading all the warning and the danger signs
1:39I don't have the gift of the prophecy
1:43Telling everybody how it's gonna be
1:54Soon come soon come the day this tinderbox
1:58Is gonna blow in your face
2:01In your face in your face
2:06I don't have the gift of the prophecy
2:09Telling everybody how it's gonna be
2:13You go passing wrong for right and right for wrong
2:17People only stand for that for just so long
2:51It's all gonna catch like a house on fire
2:55Spark an evil blaze and burn higher
3:03Well I don't have the gift of the prophecy
3:07Telling everybody how it's gonna be
3:11You go passing wrong for right and right for wrong
3:14People only stand for that for just so long
3:22I don't have the gift of the prophecy
3:25Telling everybody how it's gonna be
3:28There's a wild fire catching in the whip of the wind
3:32Start a conflagration
3:34Like there has never been
3:45This house is on fire
3:53This house is on fire
This house is on fire Kick off your boots come and sit a spell Listen to me worry come and listen well All you better best come and lean in boys Cause I don't dare to raise my voice I've been sitting here for the longest time Reading all the warning and the danger signs I don't have the gift of the prophecy Telling everybody how it's gonna be Soon come soon come the day this tinderbox Is gonna blow in your face In your face in your face I don't have the gift of the prophecy Telling everybody how it's gonna be You go passing wrong for right and right for wrong People only stand for that for just so long It's all gonna catch like a house on fire Spark an evil blaze and burn higher Well I don't have the gift of the prophecy Telling everybody how it's gonna be You go passing wrong for right and right for wrong People only stand for that for just so long I don't have the gift of the prophecy Telling everybody how it's gonna be There's a wild fire catching in the whip of the wind Start a conflagration Like there has never been This house is on fire This house is on fire
