lyrics
(chorus)
we can only fight the fire with fire so long, baby
'til it all burns down
'til it all burns down
what's it gonna take to make this all stop now, baby
'til it all burns down
'til it all burns down
how many gonna have to die,
how many gonna say goodbye
'til it all burns down
'til it all burns down
(verse 1)
listen mama, i know you're brokenhearted
cause the peace your hoping for has often seemed departed
thoughts and feelings often disregarded
so we're stuck here trying to stop what some others have started
standing up to fight doesn't feel unjust
but does it really make it right when another is crushed, i mean
you pledge allegiance up to heaven above
but are your enemies loved when push comes to shove
(pre-chorus)
we all want to save the world and make a brighter day
but i believe it's possible to make a better way
(verse 2)
seems to me we only see one sided
in a house that won't stand and a world divided
fighting battles in the name of peace
by thinking violence increased will make the violence cease
but don't go on pretending it's just overseas
look at your courtrooms, neighborhoods and families, i mean
mama don't you see the world's at stake
we've gotta stop the hate before we find it's too late
we can only fight the fire with fire so long, baby
'til it all burns down
'til it all burns down
what's it gonna take to make this all stop now, baby
'til it all burns down
'til it all burns down
how many gonna have to die,
how many gonna say goodbye
'til it all burns down
'til it all burns down
(verse 1)
listen mama, i know you're brokenhearted
cause the peace your hoping for has often seemed departed
thoughts and feelings often disregarded
so we're stuck here trying to stop what some others have started
standing up to fight doesn't feel unjust
but does it really make it right when another is crushed, i mean
you pledge allegiance up to heaven above
but are your enemies loved when push comes to shove
(pre-chorus)
we all want to save the world and make a brighter day
but i believe it's possible to make a better way
(verse 2)
seems to me we only see one sided
in a house that won't stand and a world divided
fighting battles in the name of peace
by thinking violence increased will make the violence cease
but don't go on pretending it's just overseas
look at your courtrooms, neighborhoods and families, i mean
mama don't you see the world's at stake
we've gotta stop the hate before we find it's too late
