There is fire on the mountain
And nobody seems to be on the run
Oh there is fire on the mountain top
And no one is'ah running
I wake up in the morning...
Tell you what I see on my tv screen:
I see the blood of an innocent child
And everybody's watching
Now, I'm looking out of my window
And what do I see?
I see an army of soldiers that're
Marching across the street, heh...
What did they say to make you so blind
To your conscience and reason?
Could it be love for your country
Or for the gun you use in k**ing? So...
There is fire on the mountain
And nobody seems to be on the run
Oh there is fire on the mountain top
And no one is'ah running
Heh, Mister Loverman!
Can I get a chance to talk to you?
'cause you are fooling with a dead man's corpse
And you don't know what you do. Oh...
So little Lucy turns sixteen
And like the movie she's been seeing
She has a lover in her daddy
She can't tell nobody...
'till she makes the evening news
For there is fire on the mountain
And nobody seems to be on the run
Oh there is fire on the mountain top
And no one is'ah running. Oh yes
One day the river will overflow
And there'll be nowhere for us to go
