The red sky's moaning and the wind is blowing hard Better take warning 'cause this time it's gone too far We been smokin' it more but enjoyin'it less We better stop using or there'll be nothing left The eyes of defiance are slowly being crushed to death There's a fire in the western world House in shambles, trip wire under the door 18, wasted, trying to hide the crack in the floor Don't know what you're doing, don't really care School's just a miss-hit going nowhere You're running for your life while the scandal's are burning the stairs There's a fire in the western world Can't you hear the rooster crowing in the dead of the night Don'tcha wanna trash'em, jackboots step out of line It's a concrete jungle, stones and tears Quickly becoming what everybody fears It ain't just color the message keeps cuttin' clear There's a fire in the western world
