Dead Kennedys - Forest Fire lyrics
[Dead Kennedys - Forest Fire lyrics]
No junk food, just earthly goods
I ate weird berries in the woods
Now I'm seeing colors, I'm getting higher
I think I'll start a forest fire
There's a forest fire climbin' the hill
Burning wealthy California homes
Better run, run, run, run, run
Run from the fire
But some of us stay and watch and
We think of your insurance costs
And we laugh, laugh laugh, laugh, laugh
Laugh at your lives
Windows covered with bars, security guards
Is that a house or a fortress
Against the rest of the world?
Windows covered with bars, security guards
Is that a house or a prison
How you gonna get out?
Electric bull and your tennis courts
Pink sports cars and your boats
Getting fried, fried, fried, fried, fried
Fried by the fire windows covered with bars
Floodlights for the yard
It's a pleasure to watch you
Watch it all melt
But hey what about the cocaine
Stockpiled in the basement?
Be a hero and save it
You know you're gonna need it
Where's your brand new pretty wife
She might still be inside
Either save her or your cocaine from the fire
But the gates and doors are locked
'cause the burglar alarms went off
Ever wonder why we laugh
Laugh at your lives?
Windows covered with bars
Fences spiked with barbed wire
Never looked so helpless engulfed in flames
Cameras watchin' the walls
Don't forget the dogs
Now you're trapped in your prison
How you gonna get out?
Yeah see the gerbil
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run
Run from the fire
I ate weird berries in the woods
Now I'm seeing colors, I'm getting higher
I think I'll start a forest fire
There's a forest fire climbin' the hill
Burning wealthy California homes
Better run, run, run, run, run
Run from the fire
But some of us stay and watch and
We think of your insurance costs
And we laugh, laugh laugh, laugh, laugh
Laugh at your lives
Windows covered with bars, security guards
Is that a house or a fortress
Against the rest of the world?
Windows covered with bars, security guards
Is that a house or a prison
How you gonna get out?
Electric bull and your tennis courts
Pink sports cars and your boats
Getting fried, fried, fried, fried, fried
Fried by the fire windows covered with bars
Floodlights for the yard
It's a pleasure to watch you
Watch it all melt
But hey what about the cocaine
Stockpiled in the basement?
Be a hero and save it
You know you're gonna need it
Where's your brand new pretty wife
She might still be inside
Either save her or your cocaine from the fire
But the gates and doors are locked
'cause the burglar alarms went off
Ever wonder why we laugh
Laugh at your lives?
Windows covered with bars
Fences spiked with barbed wire
Never looked so helpless engulfed in flames
Cameras watchin' the walls
Don't forget the dogs
Now you're trapped in your prison
How you gonna get out?
Yeah see the gerbil
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run
Run from the fire
