Forest Fire Lyrics
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 climbin' the hill
Burnin' wealthy California homes
Better run run run run run
From the fire
But some of us stay and watch
And we think of your insurance cost
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 world
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 boat
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
Be a hero and 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 watchin' 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
Run run run run run run run run
Run run run run run run run run
From the fire.

Destroying the bastions that the incredibly rich elite insulate themselves from the world in; breaking down the material manifestation of the escapist isolation of wealth.
And deep down we feel almost more sorry for these rich people than resentful, because seeing all their material shit go up in flames must be a sobering revelation for them on how badly they missed what is really important in life, and how trapped they are by their own paranoia and greed... so we laugh at them.
I came across the video searching for live footage on daily motion one day, and it was labeled as an event for swedish TV or something like that. I wasn't paying close attention, and suddenly Jello was in his underwear. I did a complete double-take, but it was one of the most bleeding hilarious things I'd ever seen. I highly recommend watching it, in fact, I'm gonna watch it again because I need a laugh :P
it might be about people think that NOTHING bad will ever happen to them and get lulled into a false sense of security.
Nice lyrics...very visual.
Burn preppie, burn
Just another dumbass comment from a another dumbass metalhead.... I think metal's collective IQ just dropped a few points.

There was actually a music video filmed for Forest Fire. Jello's wearing a robe that he takes off halfway through to show us his whiteys, and then he proceeds to destroy Peligro's drumset and at the end they decide to fuck the song and all come together in a dance line. What else could you expect?
The vocals at the very beginning are from Jello's ex wife. She did some stuff on Winnebago Warrior, too.
Yeh, I just watched it. It takes the piss out of lip-synching too- as Jello kicks over the drum kit etc haha its sooo good
