Píseň: Forest fire

Interpret:
Dead Kennedys
Album:
Plastic surgery disasters
No junk food, just earthly goods
I ate weird berries in the woods
Now I'm seeing colors, I'm getting higher
I think I'll start a forest fire


There's a forest fire climbin the hill
Burning wealthy California homes
Better run run run run run run
From the fire


But some of us stay and watch
And we think of your insurance costs
And we laugh laugh laugh laugh laugh laugh
At your lives


Windows covered with bars
Security guards
Is that a house or a fortress?
Against the rest of the world


Windows covered with bars
Security guards
Is that a house or a prison
How you gonna get out?


Electric bull and your tennis courts
Pink sports cars and your boats
Getting fried fried fried fried fried fried
By the fire


Windows covered with bars
Floodlights for the yard
It's a pleasure to watch you
Watch it all melt


But hey!
What about the cocaine
Stockpiled in the basement
Be a hero and save it
You know you're gonna need it


Where's your brand new pretty wife
She might still be inside
Either save her or your cocaine from the fire


But the gates and doors are locked
'Cause the burglar alarms went off
Ever wonder why we laugh laugh
At your lives


Windows covered with bars
Fences spiked with barbed wire
Never looked so helpless
Engulfed in flames


Cameras watchin' the walls
Don't forget the dogs
Now you're trapped in your prison
How you gonna get out


See the gerbil
Run run run run run run run run run
run run run run run run run run run
run run run run run run run run run
From the fire
