Lyrics for Fire In The Hole

Fire in the hole! Fire in the hole! Fire in the hole! There's fire Fire in the hole It's a people explosion Of human emotion You know there is fire Fire in the hole It's a people explosion All over this land You may be able to kill somebody dead You may be able to bust your head But you can't kill emotion You can't kill human emotion You know there is fire Fire in the hole It's a people explosion All over this land Hey Mr. Man All the people up against the wall They're gonna shake your marble castle It's gonna crumble and fall down On the ground there's fire Fire in the hole It's a people explosion All over this land Fire (fire) Fire (fire) Fire (fire) Fire (fire) Fire (fire) Fire (fire) Fire (fire) Nanana nana, nana nana, nana nana Nana nana, nana nana, nana nana Yesterday I saw God Walking and talking with the milkman Last week I saw the devil Walking hand in hand with the president Jacob's ladder was down on the ground All God's people were going down God watching ... [?] ... [?] any promise had been long delayed Black was black and white was white All God's people were uptight Everybody doing round [?] Ain't nobody doing right Woman, woman, yeah Woman, woman Woman, woman, oh mama Woman, woman There's fire Fire in the hole It's a people's explosion Of the human emotion Oh, there's fire Fire in the hole It's a people explosion All over this land Now a dynamite explosion Will cause a land erosion, oh yes it will But a people's explosion is filled with human emotion And you can't, you can't kill the people, no Oh, no, no, no, no, no, you can't kill an idea, an emotion There's fire all over this land Fire (fire) Fire (fire) Fire (fire) Nanana nana, nana nana, nana nana Nana nana, nana nana, nana nana, oh yeah You can't build a nation on bloodshed And expect the blood not to stain the land You can't build a nation on bloodshed And expect the blood not to stain the land You can't right for so many You can't right for so few You can't have a lot of people living high on the house [?] And have another people living like dirty dogs You can't throw the people little bones While the rich live in their ivory steephole [?] Oh, fire, fire, fire, fire fire in the hole Fire, fire fire in the hole (fire) My woman, my Take the people's hand Open up your big food bin, let the people in To have your coffers overrunning like That while the people are starving it's a sin Let my brothers and my sisters come on in Your food's gonna flow over, gonna bust your building down Gonna tear your building down to ground The people are that wheels that run your cars The people is the bodies for your cause [?] The people, everything, everything People brought you your strength, they fight your wars They told me they ain't fighting no wars no more And this is for their own salvation, to help their degradation Remember when you were fighting for your independence You said that you were right, right, right, day and night Dying don't mean nothinhg Dying is living, and living is dying, just across the river Ain't nobody afraid of dying no more It's better to be dead than to live running scared It's better to be dead than to live running scared Fire in the hole! Fire in the hole! Fire in the hole! Aw!
