There’s a man with a look that’s pretentious

I can’t seem to get him out

Of my mind or away from the system

That keeps building up and breaking down

Hell bent, I keep on turning

Until the wheel and screws come off

There’s a man with a look that’s pretentious

And I think he’s up to something odd


Fire it up and water it down

Fire it up and water it down


There’s a child and he looks quite terrified

Tears dripping from his eyes

The man has the upper hand

But the child makes him realize

There’s no escape or returning

Life is what has made him blind

All I want is to be left alone

But the man and child are in my mind


Fire it up and water it down

Fire it up and water it down


Fire it up and water it down

Fire it up and water it down

Fire it up and water it down

Fire it up and water it down


Fire it up and water it down

Fire it up and water it down

Fire it up and water it down

Fire it up and water it down
