People only stand for that for just so long
Like there has never been
That could start a conflagration
I don't have the gift of the prophecy
I don't have the gift of the prophecy
I've been sitting here for the longest time
You go passing wrong for right and right for wrong
Listen to me worry, come and listen well
'Cause I don't dare to raise my voice
Telling everybody how it's gonna be
Telling everybody how it's gonna be
Soon come, soon come the day
Telling everybody how it's gonna be
Spark an evil blaze and burn higher
I don't have the gift of the prophecy
Kick off your boots, come and sit a spell
Reading all the warning and the danger signs
It's all gonna catch like a house on fire
People only stand for that for just so long
You go passing wrong for right and right for wrong
There's a wild fire catching in the whip of the wind
Telling everybody how it's gonna be
All you better best come and lean in boys
Well, I don't have the gift of the prophecy
This tinderbox is gonna blow in your face
