The Fire
Igniting Change: Unveiling the Hidden Message in Reel Big Fish's 'The Fire'
Lyrics
I'm gonna say it like I mean it,
I will express my thoughts sincerely
We've let this go on to long.
We have allowed this situation to continue for too long
You know I'm starting to believe it
I am becoming convinced
That all together we could be strong
Collectively, we could be powerful
I won't name who's to blame for the misery and pain
I won't point fingers for the suffering and pain
It's a shame all the same that we
It's unfortunate that we conform and participate in their system
Lay down and play their game.
We comply and engage in their manipulation
You've got it wrong,
You have a mistaken understanding
It's not alright
Things are not acceptable
We've got the fire, but does it mean anything
We possess the passion, but does it hold significance?
We've got the fire tonight.
We possess the passion tonight
We want to fight but will that change anything?
We desire to resist, but will it bring about any change?
Will it make it alright?
Will resistance make things acceptable?
I know it's vague but I'll say it
I acknowledge it's unclear, but I'll express it
There's something wrong everywhere
There is something amiss everywhere
And you're ashamed to admit it
You're reluctant to admit it
But if it's not then you don't care
If it's not wrong, then you are indifferent
Well they will put you away
They will imprison you for expressing your views
For the things that you say
For the words you utter
And you're not buying in,
You don't conform, but they will still make you suffer consequences
But their still gonna make you pay
You've got it wrong,
You have a mistaken understanding
It's not alright
Things are not acceptable
We've got the fire, but does it mean anything
We possess the passion, but does it hold significance?
We've got the fire tonight
We possess the passion tonight
We want to fight but will it change anything?
We desire to resist, but will it bring about any change?
Will that make it alright?
Will resistance make things acceptable?
