Our House [The Mess We Made] lyrics

I look around me and everyone’s a no show

I made the call, but people saw the smoke

No, we haven’t got time to be putting out fires that we didn’t start

You look light, but I know you have a heavy heart

They say: "Tell me, why should I care about the people that I have n-never met?

They don’t have my back, so answer: why should I have any of theirs?"

Because our house is on fire

Our house is on fire

Our house is on fire and no one cares

'Cause our house is on fire

Prophets with problems

Smart mouths don’t wanna solve them

Nobody can tell me

That we got a plan B worth hearing

When I dream of outer space

(Dream of outer space)

I wonder what they’re thinking

When they look down and see

(Look down and see)

That the Earth is bleeding

The kids have taken the streets, they ain’t missing a beat

They want their futures back

When the leaders can’t lead, we all look to a Swede

Who speaks the most sense to me

Maybe, finally it's time for us to draw a line

In the mess we made

Because our house is on fire

Our house is on fire (Nobody knows)

Our house is on fire and no one cares

'Cause our house is on fire (Nobody knows)

Our house is on fire

Our house is on fire (Nobody knows)

Our house is on fire and no one cares

'Cause our house is on fire

Why should we care about people we have never met?

Why should we care about people we have never met?

Why should we care about people we will never meet?

Because the kids have taken the streets

They ain’t missing a beat

They want their futures back

So don’t go getting cold feet

Now’s not the time to sleep

Now’s not the time to sleep

Because our house is on fire (Nobody knows)

Our house is on fire (Nobody knows)

Our house is on fire and no one cares

'Cause our house is on fire

Our house is on fire (Nobody knows)

Our house is on fire (Nobody knows)

Our house is on fire and no one cares

'Cause our house is on fire (Nobody knows)
