No junk food, just earthly goods
I ate weird berries in the woods
Now I'm seeing colors, I'm getting higher
I think I'll start a forest fire 

There's a forest fire climbin' the hill
Burning wealthy California homes
Better run run run run run run from the fire 

But some of us stay and watch
And we think of your insurance costs
And we laugh laugh laugh laugh laugh laugh at your lives 

Windows covered with bars
Security guards
Is that a house or a fortress?
Against the rest of the world 

Windows covered with bars
Security guards
Is that a house or a prison, how you gonna get out? 

Electric bull and your tennis courts
Pink sports cars and your boats
Getting fried fried fried fried fried fried by the fire 

Windows covered with bars
Floodlights for the yard
It's a pleasure to watch you
Watch it all melt 

But hey!
What about the cocaine
Stockpiled in the basement?
Be a hero and save it
You know you're gonna need it 

Where's your brand new pretty wife?
She might still be inside
Either save her or your cocaine from the fire 

But the gates and doors are locked
'Cause the burglar alarms went off
Ever wonder why we laugh laugh at your lives? 

Windows covered with bars
Fences spiked with barbed wire
Never looked so helpless
Engulfed in flames 

Cameras watchin' the walls
Don't forget the dogs
Now you're trapped in your prison how you gonna get out?

Yee-ah!
See the gerbil run run run run run run run run run
Run run run run run run run run run
Run run run run run run run run run from the fire
