Kit Kelen #1385 - they're burning down my house again (song)


1385
they’re burning down my house again
(draft for a one chord wonder)

they’re burning down my house again
they do it while I sleep
I lie there like a corpse  
and dream
and in the dream I weep

they’re burning down my house again
they do it every night
I dream the wish
and they upend it
with greed and hate and lies

it’s me me me and all I deserve
I just play around with words

they’re telling me the house is not on fire
but they’re burning down my house again
I see it with my own eyes

they’re raising up the sea as well
they’re dialling up the bile
they fuck this whole wide world of ours
and I think what I’ll… what I’ll…

I drive a car
I eat red meat
they burn the coal
just for me
I’m deep in my hypocrisy
nevertheless I can see

this is what happens to the meek

they’re burning down my house again
they do it while I sleep
I lie there like a corpse 
and dream
and dream
and dream
