Fire - Luka Bloom

I sit beside a young man

Headphones in his ear

I’d love to hear his story

But I can’t get near

Sounds like angry music

Bleeding from his phones

Straight into his head

Experienced alone

Where’s the fire now?

Everywhere I go

Everybody’s cool

Coming down with gadgetry

All the latest little tools

Living in your headphones

Can you hear your dreams

Give me some new ideas

Let me hear your screams

Where’s the fire now?

We know we were lied to

For another foolish war

Misery and mayham

And who for and what for?

Where are all the tigers

Protesting how they feel?

Everybody’s online

Where nothing is real, big fucking deal

Where’s the fire now?

I believe a bright new flame

Is simmering deep inside there

We’re all too busy with ourselves

To question or to care

Where’s the fire now?

Fire

Where’s the fire now?
