"House On Fire" lyrics

"House On Fire"

House on fire, me and my baby on the lawn
House on fire, me and my baby on the lawn
Watch it burn to the ground
All we have is gone

Baby's cryin', flames are flyin' through the air
Baby's cryin', flames are flyin' through the air
House on fire
Nobody seems to care

Some folks don't believe nothin' till it's in the palm of their hand
Some folks don't believe nothin' till it's in the palm of their hand
Till their own house is on fire
Some folks will never understand

God knows no stranger, but lots of prayin' people do
God knows no stranger, but lots of prayin' people do
If you don't love your neighbor
Ain't too sure that God's loving you

House on fire, me and my baby on the lawn
House on fire, me and my baby on the lawn
Watch it burn to the ground
All we have is gone
