Louis The Child - World On Fire Lyrics






I keep watching the world
Chase their circles in their places
Joining the race inside a maze
Look 'round, are you one of them?
Yeah, see how they can all see
Pointless and worry
So down to hurry

The world could be on fire
And we wouldn't know
The temperature is rising
And no one knows
We'll hide behind the money
That's the way it goes
The world could be on fire
And we wouldn't know

Complaining about the same things
Not watching where we're going
Ending up 50
Somehow with nothing
Oh, don't listen to what they say
I admit I know that I have
Don't be the same
Don't be the same

The world could be on fire
And we wouldn't know
The temperature is rising
And no one knows
We'll hide behind the money
That's the way it goes
The world could be on fire
And we wouldn't know

And so it goes another day here
Passing by
I saw it waving from the window
Could you save me?
Keep taking time, taking your time
But there's no time left
Listen for it's almost over

The world could be on fire
And we wouldn't know
The temperature is rising
And no one knows
We'll hide behind the money
That's the way it goes
The world could be on fire
And we wouldn't know

    I keep watching the world
    Chase their circles in their places
    Joining the race inside a maze
    Look 'round, are you one of them?
    Yeah, see how they can all see
    Pointless and worry
    So down to hurry
    The world could be on fire
    And we wouldn‘t know
    The temperature is rising
    And no one knows
    We‘ll hide behind the money
    That‘s the way it goes
    The world could be on fire
    And we wouldn't know
    Complaining about the same things
    Not watching where we're going
    Ending up 50
    Somehow with nothing
    Oh, don't listen to what they say
    l admit I know that l have
    Don't be the same
    Don't be the same
    The world could be on fire
    And we wouldn't know
    The temperature is rising
    And no one knows
    We‘ll hide behind the money
    That‘s the way it goes
    The world could be on fire
    And we wouldn‘t know
    And so it goes another day here
    Passing by
    I saw it waving from the window
    Could you save me?
    Keep taking time, taking your time
    But there's no time left
    Listen for it's almost over
    The world could be on fire
    And we wouldn't know
    The temperature is rising
    And no one knows
    We‘ll hide behind the money
    That's the way it goes
    The world could be on fire
    And we wouldn't know

  11. K.... B....

    I love it - Thomas is a genius for introducing me

  12. M.... ....

    looks a little bit too much like the instrumental of michael jackson (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhvxV8TokCk )

  13. M.... ....

    is that a sample of lou reed sample in the background? It sounds a lot like perfect day to me

  14. P.... P....

    Amazing

  15. A.... M....

    This song samples "One for my baby" by Jan Johansson to anybody who was wondering.

    A.... M....

    The original was a favorite of mine before discovering this sampling. I love this too.

  16. S.... S....

    SO GOOD

  17. D.... D....

    This song, is not about global warming. It's about watching life pass you by, and not knowing.

  18. W.... T....

    She's so...smoooth.

  19. A.... V....

    I'm a hardcore hiphop fan...but I find this beautiful,someone please suggest me more songs like this...please!

    keep watching the world trace
    Their circles in their places
    Joining the race inside a maze
    Look 'round, are you one of them?
    Yeah, see how they can all seem
    Pointless in worry
    Slow down to hurry

    [Chorus]
    The world could be on fire
    And we wouldn't know
    The temperature is rising
    And no one knows
    Hide behind the money
    That's the way it goes
    The world could be on fire
    And we wouldn't know

    [Verse 2]
    Complaining 'bout the same things
    Not watching where we're goin'
    Ending up 50
    Somehow with nothing
    No don't listen to what they say
    I admit I know that I have
    Don't be the same
    Don't be the same

    [Chorus]
    The world could be on fire
    And we wouldn't know
    The temperature is rising
    And no one knows
    Hide behind the money
    That's the way it goes
    The world could be on fire
    And we wouldn't know

    [Bridge]
    And so it goes another day here
    Passing by
    I saw it waving from the window
    Could you save me?
    Keep takin' time, takin' your time
    But there's no time left
    Listen for it's almost over
    Yeah

    [Chorus]
    The world could be on fire
    And we wouldn't know
    The temperature is risin'
    And no one knows
    We'll hide behind the money
    That's the way it goes
    The world could be on fire
    And we wouldn't know

  32. A.... J....

    It's electro Jazz for those who want to know

    A.... J....

    No. It's just a jazz sample, I'd actually put it in the Hip-Hop genre.

  33. E.... P....

    E.... P....

    Erika Perez LOL i was thinking the same exact thing

    N.... ....

    lol this sooo isn't future bassxD just coz LTC have made future bass a coupla times before doesn't mean every song they make is classed under 'future bass'.

    N.... ....

    Electrojazz

  54. F.... R....

    Didnt snow garden make this song? Yeah it's called "its ok"

    F.... R....

    Snow Garden is Louis The Child's old artist name. Same people :)

    F.... R....

    What's cool is that I just heard elements of One For My Baby by Frank Sinatra. So they must've taken inspiration from the song :)

    F.... R....

    The backing track is a sample of Jan Johansson's cover of One for My Baby, so yes

  55. F.... ....

    Very relaxing stuff, it's great ;)

  56. B.... M....

    Chill wise, this is a great song

    B.... K....

    Beta Kitten Is it the heavy jazz style you're not keen on?

    B.... K....

    yeah me too i prefer good rythm... But I enjoy the production and will recommend to my dad and mom they will enjoy more this stuff. But live im sure it would be awsome.
