Ballad of the Conversational Arsonist
Hello, my enemy
I presume, yes I'll presume
Upon your witless philosophy
from this side of the room
And so with moral clarity
I dismiss the thoughtful rarity
Without a single regret
Come now, my enemy
Why pretend, yeah why pretend
There's a chance at unity
When your thoughts are a sin
Why seek a resolution
When you can spark a revolution
Just bring the fuel and the flint
I'm gonna light my fires and walk away
You better back up, son, I got something to say
And if you get burned I'm not to blame
Gonna light my fires and walk away
Come now, my lesser foe
You still believe this was unprovoked
Your offense amuses me
Like an offhanded joke
I'll bring a Gatling gun to an ol' fistfight
Are we havin' fun as the flames ignite?
Let's stoke this thing 'til she blows
I'm gonna light my fires and walk away
Better back up, son, I got something to say
And if you get burned I'm not to blame
Gonna light my fires and walk away
Gonna light my fires and walk away
You better back up, son, I got something to say
And if you get burned I'm not to blame
Gonna light my fires and walk away, yeah
Oh
Better back up, son, better back up, son
Oh
I presume, yes I'll presume
Upon your witless philosophy
from this side of the room
And so with moral clarity
I dismiss the thoughtful rarity
Without a single regret
Come now, my enemy
Why pretend, yeah why pretend
There's a chance at unity
When your thoughts are a sin
Why seek a resolution
When you can spark a revolution
Just bring the fuel and the flint
I'm gonna light my fires and walk away
You better back up, son, I got something to say
And if you get burned I'm not to blame
Gonna light my fires and walk away
Come now, my lesser foe
You still believe this was unprovoked
Your offense amuses me
Like an offhanded joke
I'll bring a Gatling gun to an ol' fistfight
Are we havin' fun as the flames ignite?
Let's stoke this thing 'til she blows
I'm gonna light my fires and walk away
Better back up, son, I got something to say
And if you get burned I'm not to blame
Gonna light my fires and walk away
Gonna light my fires and walk away
You better back up, son, I got something to say
And if you get burned I'm not to blame
Gonna light my fires and walk away, yeah
Oh
Better back up, son, better back up, son
Oh
