Fire Editorial Lyrics
Two blinded in Detroit
Something must be done
Jaws dropping at ringside
In the blood tide
When the fireball hits
Down Indiana way
Make ’em check their guns
Real tears when it’s over
Smell the sulfur
When the dark vault splits
Lord of the hidden pocket knife
Tawdry dreams all come to life
Save yourselves
Save this town
Save everything not nailed down
War in Ontario
Dead before the bell
Crushed hopes of the young breed
All the best bleed
All the proud boys break
Who’ll stand before the flood
Who will mop up all the blood
Who, alone
Skin, bone, steel, stone
swim or drown
Save this town
Save everything not nailed down
Something must be done
Jaws dropping at ringside
In the blood tide
When the fireball hits
Make ’em check their guns
Real tears when it’s over
Smell the sulfur
When the dark vault splits
Tawdry dreams all come to life
Save yourselves
Save this town
Save everything not nailed down
Dead before the bell
Crushed hopes of the young breed
All the best bleed
All the proud boys break
Who will mop up all the blood
Who, alone
swim or drown
Save this town
Save everything not nailed down
