There is fire on the mountain and nobody seems to be on the run

Oh there is fire on the mountain top and no one is a' running

I wake up in the morning tell you what I see on my TV screen

I see the blood of an innocent child and everybody's watching

Now I'm looking out my window and what do I see

I see an army of a soldier man marching across the street hey

Hey Mr . soldier man tomorrow is the day you go to war

Boy you are fighting for another man's 'cause and you don't even know him

What did they say to make you so blind to your conscience and reason

Could it be love for your country or for the gun you use in killing

So there is fire on the mountain and nobody seems to be on the run

Oh there is fire on the mountain top and no one is a' running

Hey Mister Lover-man can I get a chance to talk to you

Cause you are fooling with a dead man's corpse and you don't know what you do

So you say you have a lover and you love her like no other

So you buy her a diamond that someone has died on

Don't you think there's something wrong with this

Tell me who's responsible for what we teach our children

Is it the internet or the stars on television

Why oh why Why oh why oh Oh

So little Lucy turns sixteen and like the movie she's been seeing

She has a lover in her daddy she can't tell nobody till she makes the evening news

For there is fire on the mountain and nobody seems to be on the run

Oh there is fire on the mountain top and no one is a' running

Oh yes

One day the river will overflow and there'll be nowhere for us to go

And we will run run wishing we had put out the fire oh no

For there is fire on the mountain and nobody seems to be on the run

Oh there is fire on the mountain top and no one is a' running

So yeah yeah yeah

There is fire on the mountain

Fire in Africa

And nobody seems to be on the run

Everywhere can't they see eh

Oh there is fire on the mountain top and no-one is a' running

No-one is a running

There is fire on the mountain

Fire fire fire

And nobody seems to be on the run
