"LA Fires" lyrics

"LA Fires"

Come gather round friends
And I'll tell you a tale
Where the wild fires glow
And the government fails

40,000 acres burnt
And it's growing
25 folks dead
And more that we ain't knowing
And the question it raises
On everyone's minds
Is how
And why oh why

Fox says it's lesbians
Well that clears it up
I thought it's climate change
But fair enough

Good God
California's got the drought
And bad government planning
The winds of Santa Ana
Oh, the taxes are high
In the pastures of plenty
Wheres the fires are hot
And the hydrants are empty
Incompetence and greed and budget cuts
Are sure to stir you up
Some real bad luck

State Farm looked into its crystal ball
And said "No, oh, honey,"
And they plum withdrawn
Some fire's on purpose
Some on accident
We can crawl down that rabbit hole in a bit

Prayers to the people that lost their homes
Or a portion of their portfolio
Is it a globalist plot
For economic collapse
Or is Black Rock clearing off the spot on the map?

Our brains are small
And our problems are large
I think it's safer to say
Nobody's in charge
