I don't need to live a life
When I can watch it all the time
Like waving to a parade
That has long since passed me by
(Can't touch the flame)
Everything's on fire
(Can't quench the thirst)
Do I watch it burn?
(What you gonna do now?)
And distract myself
In the bewildered herd
Eating plastic and lead
In a world plagued by our presence
Why do we force-feed ourselves
When it all tastes of ashes?
(Can't touch the flame)
Everything's on fire
(Can't quench the thirst)
Do I watch it burn?
(What you gonna do now?)
And distract myself
In the bewildered herd
I'm not saying that life will end, or the world will end
Or the universe will cease to exist but man will cease to exist
Just like the dinosaurs passed into extinction
The same thing will happen to us, we're not fucking important
(Can't touch the flame)
Everything's on fire
(Can't quench the thirst)
Do I watch it burn?
(What you gonna do now?)
And distract myself
(Can't touch the flame)
Everything's on fire
(Can't quench the thirst)
Do I watch it burn?
(What you gonna do now?)
And distract myself
In the bewildered herd
The bewildered herd
The bewildered herd
The bewildered herd
