The sun is burning
It's burning up
It watches the fire smoke
And space blackens with soot
My home is breaking
It's breaking up
I'm told it wasn't even mine to begin with
I get the space in the cut
Put me on the fire
Put me on the fire
Put me on the fire
And watch me burn
Light me up and let me get to work
I've been using
I've been using up
I took something that shouldn't be taken
You can't make snow from the slush
My heart is giving
It's giving up
I left a little for you, my friend
Let me drink from the cup
Put me on the fire
Put me on the fire
Put me on the fire
And watch me burn
Light me up and let me get to work
The world is burning
It's burning up
I'm crying, I'm screaming and crying
And justice just isn't enough
Can you feel it?
Put me on the fire
(Is it heat you require?)
Put me on the fire
(Or a voice for the choir?)
Put me on the fire and watch me burn
Light me up and let me get to work
