INTRO Dm 2X James and Scottie only
Dm
V1 Hey, did you see the smoke outside and the fire in the air
or were you looking at the mudslide -on the mountains over there
the rains keep comin’, the chopper’s hummin’ it don’t seem fair
Worlds on fire and no body’s comin’ ----- does anybody care?
V2 The sunset’s looking good tonight, but the sky is red and gray
world leaders come and go and turn the other way
what we gonna do for the children when it comes their time of day
worlds on fire and the water rises ----- washing them away
CHORUS: Loud and dirty (all sing)
D C
People got to rise up, rise up, rise up with desire
People got to rise up, rise up, it’s down to the wire
G
People got to wise up, wise up --- Worlds on fire

LEAD: Ken (Like a verse)
INTERLUDE If we stand up tall --- we all have a say (whole band sings)
It’s the only home we know ---(whole band sings) and it’s fading away
If we take it all --- and don’t give back to this place (whole band sings)
The world will burn without a stand --- we lose the human race
CHORUS: Loud and dirty (all sing)
