From where I am I can smell the smoke
They're burning something - I don't want to know

Should I really sit here and wait
And hope it blows the other way


I wish I could see
And turn off my lungs when I run into poisoned air
Which may finally be everywhere


I don't want to go to sleep
I don't even think I need it

Keep every light turned on
Because it seems darker than ever


All the murderous greed
Ignored by the ones with too many reasons
For keeping things running

If I blame them for anything
It's nothing more than I blame on myself
