[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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?"

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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?

[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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)
