Forest Fire

No junk food, just earthly goods
I ate weird berries in the woods
Now I'm seeing colors, I'm getting higher
I think I'll start a forest fire

There's a forest fire climbing the hill, burning wealthy California homes
Better run, run, run, run, run, run from the fire
But some of us stay and watch and we think of your insurance costs
And we laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh at your lives

Windows covered with bars, security guards
Is that a house or a fortress against the rest of the world?
Your windows covered with bars, security guards
Is that a house or a prison, how you gonna get out?

Electric bull and your tennis courts, pink sports cars and your boats
Getting fried, fried, fried, fried, fried, fried by the fire
Windows covered with bars, floodlights for the yard
It's a pleasure to watch you watch it all melt

But hey, what about the cocaine
Stockpiled in the basement?
You'd better save it
You know you're gonna need it

Where's your brand new pretty wife? She might still be inside
Either save her or your cocaine from the fire
But the gates and doors are locked 'cause the burglar alarms went off
Ever wonder why we laugh, laugh at your lives?

Windows covered with bars, fences spiked with barbed wire
Never looked so helpless engulfed in flames
Cameras watching the walls, don't forget the dogs
Now you're trapped in your prison, how you gonna get out?

See the gerbil run run run run run run run run from the fire
