I might be preaching to the choir
But the root of all evil is desire
And human nature is to acquire fire

The idiots rule 'cause they conspire
Political-minded people should all retire
They keep going around, around, around
Around, around, around like a tire

I want to get higher
Higher, higher, higher

We're getting down to the wire
This city is like a funeral pyre
Always led by someone who is a liar
You never hear it from the town crier

Fire, fire, fire
It's only get higher
And higher and higher and higher

Sea level is getting higher
The polar bears are getting tired
They need to get more wired
It's dire

I want to get higher
Higher, higher and higher
Higher, higher and higher
It's only gonna get higher
And higher and higher and higher
