"Root Of All Evil" lyrics

"Root Of All Evil"

I might be preaching to the choir
But the root of all evil is desire
And human nature is to acquire
Fire

The idiots rule 'cause they conspire
Political-minded people should all retire
They keep going around, around, around, around, around, around
Like a tire

I wanna get higher
Higher
Higher
Higher

We're getting down to the wire
The city is like a funeral pyre
Always lead by someone who is a liar
You never hear it from the town crier

Fire
Fire
Fire
It's only get higher
And higher
And higher
And higher

Sea level is getting higher
The polar bears are getting tired
They need to get
More wired
It's dire

I wanna get higher
Higher
Higher
And higher
Higher
Higher
And higher
It's only gonna get higher
And higher
And higher
And higher
