In collaboration
What will it take to make us see
That we are own worst enemy
World filled with hate and pain and fear
If you don’t look like me you shouldn’t be here
People keep dying from disease and poverty
When there’s always enough in this world of plenty
We are so blind we can’t see reality
The greedy benefit from global inequality
The world’s on fire and we watch each other burn
The world’s on fire and we never seem to learn
Don’t seem to realise who is setting the flame
We look at each other for someone to blame
The world’s on fire and we pull out a gun
The world’s on fire and the damage is done
Mr richman shooting rockets to the sky
He knows he’s leaving the earth to die
Money is their god and they pay the Man to agree
Why else is there nothing left for you and me
The world’s on fire and the countdown’s begun
The world’s on fire and there’s nowhere to run

These lyrics are so well written, topical and true. Favorite line: "Mr richman shooting rockets to the sky". I also like how the lines after "the world's on fire" change throughout the song. This is going to be a hell of a song once you get music going for it. #tit4tat

This is a strong one. Reading these lyrics it could be anything. Lo-Fi Hip Hop? Some spoken word rock? Right on. Now I'm curious about the genre your collab will pick up. The world’s on fire and we watch each other burn. Great line. #tit4tat

The title hooked me in. So timely and painful, many truths that make the listener feel the hurt of the world. Nice rhyming throughout. A lot of lines with a lot being said in them, they all stood out, but the one that probably hit me the most was "Money is their god and they pay the Man to agree." So true. "The damage is done." Can't take back what's been done, for sure. Excellent write. #tit4tat1

oh this is so good!
my fav lines are:
Don’t seem to realise who is setting the flame
We look at each other for someone to blame
and
Mr richman shooting rockets to the sky
He knows he’s leaving the earth to die

Fantastic! I echo the lyrical sentiment expressed.

Another great song. I can feel the anger coming through, and it resonates with me
