Christians, we're all afraid of fire
We prefer to suck on pacifiers
Baby pacifists, we're throwing fits
We don't shake hands, we shake our fists
We're cannibals, we watch our brothers fall
We eat our own, the bones and all
Finally fell asleep on the plane
to wake to see we're going down in flames
We're going down, down, down in flames
We're gonna drown, drown, drown insane
We see the problem and the risk, but nothing's solved
We just say, "Tisk, tisk, tisk," and "Shame, shame, shame"
Finally fell asleep on the plane
to wake to see we're going down in flames
Christians, we mourn, the thorn is stuck
In the side of the body watch it self-destruct
The enemy is much ignored
When we fight this Christian civil war
We're cannibals, we watch our brothers fall
We eat our own, the bones and all
Finally fell asleep on the plane
To wake to see we're going down in flames
We're going down, down, down in flames
We're gonna drown, drown, drown insane
We see the problem and the risk, but nothing's solved
We just say, "Tisk, tisk, tisk," and "Shame, shame, shame"
Finally fell asleep on the plane
to wake to see we're going down in flames
Na na na na, na na na na
Na na na na, na na na na
Na na na na, na na na na
Na na na na, na na na na
Na na na na, na na na na
Na na na na, na na na na
Na na na na, na na na na
Banana na na, na na na
Let me pause to clarify
(Cause I'm sure you're asking, "Why?")
I stand before you and proudly claim
To belong to what this song complains
I'm part of the problem, I confess,
But I gotta get this off my chest
Let's extinguish the anguish
For which we're to blame
And save the world from going down in flames
Let me pause to clarify
(Cause I'm sure you're asking, "Why?")
I stand before you and proudly claim
to belong to what this song complains
I'm part of the problem, I confess,
But I gotta get this off my chest
Let's extinguish the anguish
For which we're to blame
And save the world from going down in flames.
