It's Been Burning for a While Lyrics

Woke up this morning

Saw that smoke up in the sky

A crowd of people watching

Askin' who and how and why

Flames are rollin' down the city

Rolling for a mile

How'd it get so bad you ask?

It's been burnin' for a while

You say it's in the eye of the beholder

Well, I'll just go and check

No, it ain't no chip up on my shoulder

That's your boot up on my neck

How'd these flames go far you ask

Now they've gone a thousand miles

I got a newsflash for ya

They've been burning for a while

It's been burning for a while down here

Glad you stopped to see

And ain't no water gonna douse it down

Until you hear from me

You say it's in the eye of the beholder

Well, I'll just go and check

No, it ain't no chip up on my shoulder

That's your boot up on my neck!

It's been burning for a while

It's been burning for a while

It's been burning for a while

It's been burning for a while

It's been burning for a while

Glad you stopped to see

Ain't no water gonna douse it down

Until you hear from me
