[Verse 1]
I keep watching the world
Chase their circles in their places
Joining the race inside a maze
Look round, are you one of them?
Yeah, see how they can all see
Pointless and worry
So down to hurry
[Chorus]
The world could be on fire
And we wouldn t know
The temperature is rising
And no one knows
We ll hide behind the money
That s the way it goes
The world could be on fire
And we wouldn t know
[Verse 2]
Complaining about the same things
Not watching where we re going
Ending up 50
Somehow with nothing
Oh, don t listen to what they say
I admit I know that I have
Don t be the same
Don t be the same
[Chorus]
The world could be on fire
And we wouldn t know
The temperature is rising
And no one knows
We ll hide behind the money
That s the way it goes
The world could be on fire
And we wouldn t know
[Bridge]
And so it goes another day here
Passing by
I saw it waving from the window
Could you save me?
Keep taking time, taking your time
But there s no time left
Listen for it s almost over
Yeah
[Chorus]
The world could be on fire
And we wouldn t know
The temperature is rising
And no one knows
We ll hide behind the money
That s the way it goes
The world could be on fire
And we wouldn t know
