lyrics

I’m sittin' by the Fire and I don’t know what to do
The pressure’s on and it’s calling for me and you
The cave is getting cold and the food’s getting down there too
We’re sittin' by the fire and we don’t know what to do

Pick up that stick and start some abstract fight
We pick all our teams for this pre-historic plight
Why we use our thumbs to force your will?
Survival you say. We learn how it is to kill
We worship some crown and conquer the world
We'll say it’s for Christ, then put it in the bank
The flames get higher and the brain abstracts
Until nobody know what to do
He got more fire power than you
So, you tell me, that I owe you

So I’m sitting by the fire and I don’t know what to do
Thinking of a way to make mine bigger too
Found it in the ground that old black and bloody crude
Compressed all my thoughts and drove out to get some food
Now I’m sitting by the fire and I don’t know what to do
Cause I started this fight, now it’s burning my house down too
The river is on fire and the sky isn’t even blue
The lake won’t freeze and I don’t know what to do….do you?

Let’s start another war. We’ll save this holy place
All the money from the battle creates the elitist race.
WE can burn it six times over. Send machines to outer space
We only got this one rock…this warm and dusty place
We vote for some clowns who conquer the world
They say it’s for Christ, then put it in the bank
The flame gets higher and the brain abstracts
Til nobody knows what to do
He’s still got more fire power than you
So, you tell me that I owe you...again

So, I'm sittin' by the Fire and I don't know what to do
Loud mouths can't listen, and they want to sing with you
"They won't know this one. Can you sing 'em somthin' blue?"
What I need to say might depress the shit outta you

The song must end, and in the end, silence lays to blame.
Nobody knows what to do. So, we'll clap for me and for you
It gives us something to do.

I’m sittin' by the fire and I don’t know what to do
The wind is still blowing and the sun is shining too
With more power than we would know with what to do
The whole world is telling us just what we need to do
But we sit here pretending like we don’t know what to do
I’ve said my piece and it’s still up to me and you
So, I’m sitting by the fire and I think I know what to do.
