Lyrics
Look into the mirror, boy, I'm looking thin
Reflecting on physical appearance, expressing a thin or worn-out state.
All I do is work, work, work, work, work and I drink
Describing a routine of excessive work and alcohol consumption.
Find another moment I don't have to think
Seeking moments of escape or distraction from deep contemplation.
I crack another smile, while deep down within
Maintaining a facade of happiness despite inner turmoil.
I'm sick and I'm tired
Feeling unwell and exhausted.
Of white messiahs
Expressing frustration with figures perceived as self-proclaimed saviors.
And climate deniers
Criticizing those who deny or disregard climate issues.
Well bred liars
Referencing individuals with privileged backgrounds who deceive.
I'm fighting fire with fire
Using a metaphor of fighting fire with fire, implying a confrontational approach.
I'm fighting fire with fire
-They gave me this disease, they sold me the shots
Attributing the speaker's struggles to an external source or system.
Now every time I sneeze, they put up the cost
Linking the cost of medical care to the speaker's ailment.
You beg 'em baby please, but its profit and loss
Highlighting the profit-driven nature of healthcare.
And if you ain't you got the money, honey, what have you got? Hmm
Stressing the importance of wealth in accessing healthcare.
I said I'm sick and I'm tired
Reiterating fatigue with certain societal figures.
Of white messiahs
Continuing frustration with perceived false messiahs.
And climate deniers
Expressing discontent with those who deny climate change.
Listen to the choir
Suggesting a need for collective action through a metaphorical choir.
I'm fighting fire with fire
Repeating the metaphor of fighting fire with fire for emphasis.
I'm fighting fire with fire
-Money, power, money, power
Enumerating the destructive forces of money and power.
Money, power, money
-Put us all in flames
-Ayy, I'm fighting fire with fire
Continuing the resolve to confront destructive forces.
Ayy, I'm fighting fire with fire
-Ayy, I'm fighting fire with fire
-Ayy, I'm fighting fire with fire
-Money, power, money, power
Reiterating the negative impact of money and power on society.
Put us all in flames
-(Put us all in flames)
Emphasizing the perilous consequences for everyone.
(Put us all in flames)
