I can't accept what's been done   I'll question the motives   Of all things under the sun   There's something wrong   When a man is kept down   By another man's hand with a gun   We need to start a fire   To act consciously   To save us from our own defeat   Because there is still a war   That we must eliminate   And save ourselves   From this unconscious state   When you just can't take anymore   And you're being kept down   START A FIRE   We've gotta cut our ties   To a life lived in denial   I wish I could strike a match   And set fire to this fucked up empire   I'll never let myself become   Just another apathetic motherfucker   Who knows what we could do   If we would only try   If we turn our heads and walk away   This fire won't survive   START A FIRE
