When the jokers in Whitehall
cover up their blatant lies
There's nothing quite like fear
to shape and concentrate the mind
If you're a fire -broken Briton,
go and grab yourself a bat
And all the sinister ministers
spread in sinister schemes
Instinctively extinguishing the
raging fires of our dreams
So hop, skip, jump to the march,
we should be in a place of control
Swimming in someone else's
The cycle repeats to stay the same
But by now we're so disaffected
that we try to change a channel
We'll fuck around with thermostat
and nothing's ever gonna get changed
The whole time we're content
Yes, you've got to wake up
before the smoke inhalation
Wake up before that smoke inhalation
Gets up inside you and grabs
Cos there's a fire in our living room
Yes, there's a fire in our
There's a fire in our living room
There's a fire in our living room
Yes, there's a fire in our
Tell me now haven't you ever
You've got to fix the local matters
Before it turns into taxes
For the problems in the town
predict the problem in the world
An d we'll know that it's hard to write
We all know that it took so long before
We all know that it's hard
just to give up the fight
They couldn't see the smoke
Cause there's a fire in our living room
Yes, there's a fire in our living room
And there's a fire in our living room
There's a fire in our living room
There's a fire in our living room
And there's a fire in our living room
Yes, there's a fire in our living room
A fire in our living room
They couldn't see the smoke
as it billowed from the street
They couldn't see the smoke
There's a fire in our living room
A little fire in our living room
Yes there's a fire in our living room
A fire in our living room
There's a fire in our living room
And there's a fire in our living room
Yes there's a fire in our living room
And there's a fire in our living room
