look away.

The wick of the candle Is almost burnt up So they brought an electric lamp But now the flickering has stopped It didn't fool us So they made a bulb that flickers too It looks the same on the surface But we can tell it's not the light we knew Now the fire's extinguished It's only electricity Easy to turn off with a switch But they keep the switch out of reach A flame is unpredictable While a lamp can be controlled We were so excited for the next big thing We didn't think about what we sold They make it easy to escape With things to watch and drugs to take Look away, look away They try to occupy our brains So they can keep us all restrained Look away, look away, look away Water runs through the embers Glowing stones go up in smoke It looks like the heat is gone Because the coals are now all soaked They left it to die After some time had come to pass They went inside and turned off their lights But under a layer of ash There is still a little bit of heat There is still a little bit of light We are not entirely beat We are still struggling to survive And when they finally knock over the candle We will make this whole house ignite Because this fire's not going out Not without a fight They make it easy to escape With things to watch and drugs to take Look away, look away They try to occupy our brains So they can keep us all restrained Look away, look away, look away
