Lyrics
0:00I've always had trouble staying still
0:04I stand next to what I hate just for the thrill
0:09Spent the first quarter of my life on a million dollar bill
0:14'Cause I can't stop staring at the fire
0:19We got our crosses and our buildings built 'em tall
0:24And my book's another brick inside the wall
0:29We sure make ourselves feel busy but we don't do much at all
0:34Except sit around and stare at the fire
0:40And the protesters have gathered in the streets
0:45Opposite a block full of police
0:49But they both have the same problem with God as you and me
0:54It's that they can't stop staring at the fire
0:59Watch it burn burn burn
1:04Watch it burn burn burn
1:08Watch it burn burn burn
1:13Watch it burn burn burn
1:17Went to an ashram a million miles from here
1:22An old man on a blanket appeared
1:27He waved me to come closer and he whispered in my ear
1:31"Son you've got to stop staring at the fire"
1:37But all my ego trips come in flocks
1:42And they tell me "Kid it's really not that hot"
1:47Take your anxiety and your guilt just throw it all on top
1:52Now I can't stop standing in the fire
1:57Oh watch me burn burn burn
2:01Watch me burn burn burn
2:06Watch me burn burn burn
2:10Watch me burn burn burn
2:14Oh watch me burn burn burn
2:19Watch me burn burn burn
2:23Watch me burn burn burn
2:28Watch me burn burn burn
I've always had trouble staying still I stand next to what I hate just for the thrill Spent the first quarter of my life on a million dollar bill 'Cause I can't stop staring at the fire We got our crosses and our buildings built 'em tall And my book's another brick inside the wall We sure make ourselves feel busy but we don't do much at all Except sit around and stare at the fire And the protesters have gathered in the streets Opposite a block full of police But they both have the same problem with God as you and me It's that they can't stop staring at the fire Watch it burn burn burn Watch it burn burn burn Watch it burn burn burn Watch it burn burn burn Went to an ashram a million miles from here An old man on a blanket appeared He waved me to come closer and he whispered in my ear "Son you've got to stop staring at the fire" But all my ego trips come in flocks And they tell me "Kid it's really not that hot" Take your anxiety and your guilt just throw it all on top Now I can't stop standing in the fire Oh watch me burn burn burn Watch me burn burn burn Watch me burn burn burn Watch me burn burn burn Oh watch me burn burn burn Watch me burn burn burn Watch me burn burn burn Watch me burn burn burn
