I can't accept what's been done
I'll question the motives
Of all things under the sun
There's something wrong
When a man is kept down
By another man's hand with a gun
We need to start a fire
To act consciously
To save us from our own defeat
Because there is still a war
That we must eliminate
And save ourselves
From this conscious state
When you just can't take anymore
And you're being kept down
START A FIRE
We've gotta cut our ties
To a life lived in denial
I wish I could strike a match
And set fire to this f***** up empire
I'll never let myself become
Just another apathetic m***********
Who knows what we could do
If we would only try
If we turn our heads and walk away
This fire won't survive
