World On Fire

The world is on fire
Set ablaze by liars
I feel the malaise
On these dark days
Too tired to fight
And do what's right
We close our eyes
As we're fed the lies
Some say the end is nigh
Accepting it, but I ask why
Stolen hopes and dreams
It's hopeless it seems
The world feels despair
But few people care
The world is on fire
Set ablaze by liars
