Forest Fire Lyrics

Forest Fire lyrics

For short lived cattle grazing land
With the whole world in their
hands
They're cutting down and burning up the land
Asset stripping the
medicine man
& all for one
And every man for himself
The conflict of
interest lies
Selling off cheap
Avoid political heat and burn up in a
forest fire

And now that there's nothing left
Just a hole above our
heads
Letting the sunshine in
That's how the end begins
With a forest
fire

The black cloud rising in the sky
Up into the atmosphere
]
it's bringing down a different kind of weather
to the one we knew last
year
and
though it's taking so long to do something about it
they chip
away at it
bit by bit
you won't believe anything that grown up for so
long
could be cut down this quick

and now that there's nothing
left
just a hole above our heads
letting the sunshine in
that's how
the end begins
with a forest fire

in the corner of a foreign
land
in the wind that blows the sand
there's the sting of a thousand
lies
that burned up in a forest fire
we're burning up
in a clear blue
sky
in a funeral pyre
in a big white lie
in a forest fire
