Paroles Forest fire The Dream Academy

Forest fire

for short lived cattle crazing land
with the whole world in their hands
they're cutting down and burning up the land
asset stripping the medicine man &

all for one and every man for himself
the conflict of interest lies
selling off cheap avoid political heat
and burn up in a forest fire

and now that there's nothing left
just a hole above our heads
letting the sunshine in
that's how the end begins
with a forest fire

the black cloud rising in the sky
up into the atmosphere
is bringing down
a different kind of weather
to the one we knew las year
and though ti's taking so long to do
something about they chip awayat it bit by bit
you won't believe anything
that's grown up for so long
could be cut down this quick
and now that there's nothing left
just a hole above our heads
letting the sunshine in
that's how the end begins
with a forest fire

in the corner of a foreign land
in the wind that blows the sand
there's the sting of a thoussand lies
that burned up in a forest fire
in a forest fire
we're burning up
in a clear blue sky
in a funeral pyre
in a big white lie
