about

Written in particular regarding the Newcastle fires of October 2013. In case you couldn't guess.

lyrics

Look at all the pain you've caused
Was it worth the exhalation when the first tiny flame formed?
Look at all the roads you've closed off
The loss of opportunity kept mainly for yourself

Lock yourself away, I swear I'll smoke you out
Call emergency, kid, best keep your head down
Where'd you get the bright idea? Only one thing bright about it
I know this fire starter's just a burn out.

Have you nothing better than this to do?
All your juvenile little games so set on pleasing you
Where's the joy in setting leaves and all your shit alight
well, some four hundred other people had to leave their homes tonight

Lock yourself away, I swear I'll smoke you out
Call emergency, kid, best keep your head down
Where'd you get the bright idea? Only one thing bright about it
I know this fire starter's just a burn out.

I bet you think it's funny; for your youth you lack conviction
Well let me tell you, honey: you're not any less condemned

Lock yourself away, I'm gonna smoke you out
Call emergency, kid, best keep your head down
Where'd you get the bright idea? Only one thing bright about it
I know our fire starter's just a
Lock yourself away, I swear I'll smoke you out
Call emergency, kid, best keep your head down
Where'd you get the bright idea? Only one thing bright about it
I know our fire starter's just a burn out.
