The World (Is Going up in Flames) - Charles Bradley, Menahan Street Band

This world

Is going up in flames

And nobody

Wanna take the blame

Don’t tell me

How to live my life

When you

Never felt the pain

(ooo ooo ooo)

(uuuuuh)

Come on babe

(uuuuuh)

They don’t hear me cryin'

(uuuuuh)

They don’t hear me tryin'

(uuuuuh)

They don’t hear me cryin'

For what I gonna do, yeah baby

I can’t turn my head away

Seeing all these things

The world

Is burning up in flames

And nobody

Wanna take the blame

You oh you

You oh you

Me oh me

(uuuuuh)

They don’t hear me cryin

(uuuuuh)

They don’t hear me tryin

(uuuuuh)

Don’t stomp on that light

Oh you killin me

Come on babe

Get it right

Gotta be

A better world

Gotta make it baby

Gotta make it right
