Lyrics
They call me Smokey the Bear how are ya
Introduction as Smokey the Bear, greeting the listener
I would say that it's nice to meet ya
Expressing a courteous sentiment about meeting the listener
But you took all of the trees for paper
Accusing the listener of using all the trees for paper
You took the lake for your tea and water
Accusing the listener of taking the lake for personal use
Oh you're really doing it now and now I'm burning it down
Conveying frustration and warning about consequences, possibly environmental
You feel the smoke from the heat
Describing the heat and smoke, metaphorical or literal, emanating from the situation
That's coming straight from my heart
Expressing intense emotions coming from the heart
You always thought that I'd be there for ya
Noting the listener's expectation of support from Smokey
All I was trying to do was warn ya now
Clarifying the intention was to provide a warning, not abandonment
I really think that I'm falling for ya
Suggesting romantic feelings despite the issues
Welcome home to my forest fire now
Welcoming the listener to the consequences, possibly of their actions
It's all for you
Reiterating that the situation is for the listener
What do I do if I can't ignore ya
Questioning how to handle the listener's presence or impact
You're asking me if the world is over
Responding to a query about the state of the world, hinting at a negative perspective
Yogi told me its called paranoia
Referring to advice from Yogi, possibly implying unfounded fears or anxieties
It's had too much and now it's hungover
Indicating excess and consequences, possibly linked to the listener's actions
Oh you're really doing it now and now I'm burning it down
Reiteration of the escalating situation and its destructive nature
You feel the smoke from the heat
Reemphasizing the heat and smoke originating from emotions or a physical fire
That's coming straight from my heart
Expressing the intense emotions from the heart
You always thought that I'd be there for ya
Highlighting the listener's misconception about Smokey's constant support
All I was trying to do was warn ya now
Reiterating the intention was a warning, not abandonment
I really think that I'm falling for ya
Revealing romantic feelings despite the unfolding crisis
Welcome home to my forest fire now
Welcoming the listener to the consequences, possibly of their actions
Is this for real
Expressing uncertainty about the reality of the situation
I can't be sure
Acknowledging uncertainty about the truth or authenticity of the circumstances
I want to live
Expressing a desire for a positive and elevated life
Up on that hill
Yearning for a peaceful and elevated existence, possibly away from the current issues
Oh you're really doing it now and now I'm burning it down
Reiteration of the escalating situation and its destructive nature
You feel the smoke from the heat
Reemphasizing the heat and smoke originating from emotions or a physical fire
That's coming straight from my heart
Expressing the intense emotions from the heart
You always thought that I'd be there for ya
Highlighting the listener's misconception about Smokey's constant support
All I was trying to do was warn ya now
Reiterating the intention was a warning, not abandonment
I really think that I'm falling for ya
Revealing romantic feelings despite the unfolding crisis
Welcome home to my forest fire now
Welcoming the listener to the consequences, possibly of their actions
It's all for you
Reiterating that the situation is for the listener
