"House on Fire!"

Copyright 2012, Tano Music

Words & Music by Tom Sperrazzo

Do you think you've earned respect? Quick to boast and brag?

Watch your status and your worth project? Showboat with a swag?

Don't you see your spirit's flipped-- Can't you see your breaker's tripped?

 

Do you say "what's mine is mine"? Do you share your wealth?

Do you drink your finest wine to your own good health?

Isn't it time that you awoke? Are you smelling smoke?

 

Do you like what your life proclaims

That what you desire?

Are you headin' for the flames?

Is your HOUSE ON FIRE?!

 

Are you thinking' that there's greener grass? Got those wanderin' eyes?

Do you covet what your neighbor has? Match him prize for prize?

Don't you worry you might lose the farm? Is that your alarm?

 

Is your appetite beyond your fill? Do you gorge and binge?

Blood is boiling till you sense the kill? Then you come unhinged?

Really want your home to melt?  Don't you need to call for help?

 

Are you living on your own sweet time? Gettin' hot enough to care?

You've got many walls to climb! Look out!  Just get out of there!

 

(Chorus)

00:00 / 04:04
