World on fire

The world’s on fire like Jimmy said
Speak your mind and you’ll end up dead
Who will save us from ourselves
Who’s gonna bomb us with our own damn shells

From Sudan to Afghanistan
From Iraq to the next one man
From Lebanon to Palestine
From Israel and on down the line

Well the gods of war will never stop
The world’s a whore and hates the crop
Turn your picket fence into a suicide bomber
You better learn to fear the genocide shop

From Christians to the New Islam
From Jews and how you all fight for god
From holy land to holy shit
Believe me they won’t ever quit

Cause there is no light is no good
You’re born to fight it’s in the books
It’s a tired song and a chorus blood
A rich mans suit and a poor mans flood

From New York down to New Orleans
From Britain and their dying dream
From California coast to coast
You can look for love but you’ll just find a ghost

The media spreads useless flare
On where to be and what to wear
While millions die from world neglect
You get a brand new car and a big fat check

While the world’s on fire like Jimmy said.

I'm honestly going to have to be the only one to disagree. While this song was clearly performed by skilled musicians, it's simply not my style. I definitely appreciate the poetic value of the lyrics, however. Good job all around to the creator of this piece.
