There is fire on the mountain And nobody seems to be on the run Oh there is fire on the mountain top And no one is running. I wake up in the morning Tell you what I see on my TV screen I see the blood of an innocent child And everybody’s watching
Now I’m looking out of my window And what do I see I see an army of a soldier man Matching across the street
Hey Mr. soldier man Tomorrow is the day you go to war But you are fighting for another man’s cause And you don’t even know him Ho what do you say to a coup so blind To your conscience and reason Could it be love for your country Or for the gun you use in killing
There is fire on the mountain Nobody seems to be on the run Oh there is fire on the mountain top And no one is running
Hey Mr. Lover man Can I get a chance to talk to you? Cause you are fooling with a dead man’s corpse And you don’t know what you do
So you say you have a lover And you love her like no other So you buy her a diamond That someone has died on
Tell me who’s responsible For what we teach our children Is it the internet? Or the stars on television? Why o why o
So little Lucy turns sixteen And like the movie she’s been seeing She has a lover in her daddy She can’t tell nobody ‘till she makes the evening news
There is fire on the mountain And nobody seems to be on the run Oh there is fire on the mountain And no one is running
One day the river will overflow And there’ll be nowhere for us to go And we will run, run Wishing we had put out the fire.
