Fire's Only Fire Lyrics

uh-oh yeah!
uh-oh yeah!
uh-oh yeah, oh yeahhh!

I would not be so quick to dismiss
all these angry fists that do exist,
'cause the freedom fighters found the road we took.
You'd know the ending if you'd ever read this book.

'Cause rehab's waiting
like a loaded gun,
like the icy concrete of this
midnight sun.

I'm tired of this contest, I'm
tired of these tricks you've learned, I'm
tired of your protests, and
tired of your fake concerns, 'cause
fire's only fire if it burns.
Fire's only fire if it burns.
uh-oh yeah!
uh-oh yeah!
uh-oh yeah, oh yeahhh!

The projected image of your critical eyes
might give you shelter but provide no alibis.
There's two ways to see things, and you've got to decide
before the sun sets and the earth and sky collide.

'Cause rehab's waiting
with a half-cracked smile,
says "hello, how are you,
I'll see you in a while!"

I'm tired of this contest, I'm
tired of these tricks you've learned, I'm
tired of your protests, and
tired of your fake concerns, 'cause
fire's only fire if it burns.
Fire's only fire if it burns.
uh-oh yeah!
uh-oh yeah!
uh-oh yeah, oh yeahhh!

I'll never quite understand why you hate everything you see.
This unimpressed pessimism doesn't mean anything to me.
It's hard to be hopeful and believe in yourself.
Don't fake this friendship's calling and ignore your health.

'Cause this is how
you get so consumed
with the hatred of the past
and a victory assumed.

I'm tired of this contest, I'm
tired of these tricks I've learned, I'm
tired of these protests, and
tired of my fake concerns, 'cause
fire's only fire if it burns.
Fire's only fire if it burns.
Fire's only fire,
fire's only fire,
fire's only fire, yeahhh!
