The red sky's moaning and the wind is blowing hard

Better take warning 'cause this time it's gone too far

We been smokin' it more but enjoyin'it less

We better stop using or there'll be nothing left

The eyes of defiance are slowly being crushed to death

There's a fire in the western world



House in shambles, trip wire under the door

18, wasted, trying to hide the crack in the floor

Don't know what you're doing, don't really care

School's just a miss-hit going nowhere

You're running for your life while the scandal's

are burning the stairs

There's a fire in the western world



Can't you hear the rooster crowing in the dead of the night

Don'tcha wanna trash'em, jackboots step out of line

It's a concrete jungle, stones and tears

Quickly becoming what everybody fears

It ain't just color the message keeps cuttin' clear

There's a fire in the western world
