I thought that fire with fire would burn the problem quicker
But all this good advice, his hair just grows back thicker
And if I take my own advice the worst just gets here quicker

So what's it all supposed to do
This fire eats fire and the fire's in you

And I have nothing here for you
All this water's gone and you, you've done nothing here for me
Except I know that I can't breathe
And we were talkin all weekend
I guess I'm mad because I am
And I've tried this all before
Just in my head not in control

Which is why the music died
And we're living out our lives in this hope one day our lives will straighten out
And we will leave town
And we'll get down to business now will someone tell me who I am

It's always been a little hard I wish that you could meet her
This woman that you have become, you know that she's a keeper
Except you keep her under wraps in case someone should break her
It's dirty in this world, it's true
I wish I could and she does too
And I have nothing here for you
All this water's gone and you, you've done nothing here for me
Except I know that I can't breathe
And we were talkin all weekend
I guess I'm mad because I am
And I've tried this all before
Just in my head not in control

Which is why the music died
And we're living out our lives in this hope one day our lives will straighten out
And we will leave town
And we'll get down to business now will someone tell me who I am

I believe the good will out and pain does have it's purpose
It seems a little silly now, that you would just desert us
I know that everything you do, things happen for a reason
But give something good, a sign, I need something to believe in

And I have nothing here for you
All this water's gone and you, you've done nothing here for me
Except I know that I can't breathe
And we were talkin all weekend
I guess I'm mad because I am
And I've tried this all before
Just in my head not in control
Which is why the music died
And we're living out our lives in this hope one day our world will straighten out
And we will leave town
And we'll get down to business now will someone tell me who I am
