I'm watching television in my bathrobe
Seems like war is raging over half the globe
I don't need more information, I don't have to probe
I'm retreating from the web like an arachnophobe
Already knew civilisation was a waste of space
I saw the signs in the nineties like Ace of Base
Check the database, you can see my name in there
I volunteered for it, never really gave a care
Gave up my privacy so I could use some cool apps
Working hard, going nowhere like swimming pool laps
Now they know exactly where I am on Google Maps
Taps on a bugle back my funeral raps, going out
One way or another, be it shooters or a comet
Neither Buddha nor Muhammed couldn't do nothing to stop it
Neither Jesus nor Confucius could've dreamed we'd be so ruthless
I could scream but it'd be useless (no-one's listening)

The world's on fire, let it burn x 4

I know you're listening.......hi there
I know you tapped my phone see if I care
I know you've seen my web history with your spyware
I know I'm helpless like a baby on a high chair
A sitting duck, snip snip nip and tuck
Microchip is stuck into my brain and I could give a fuck
As long as that shit comes with a convenient built-in GPS
Go ahead and read my mind, you will never see me stress
I'll take the bliss with the ignorance
They know I'm Chris from the fingerprints
The software's got the facial recognition plus the voice recognition
No choice but just giving in
So they don't need to bother to try trapping me
My apathy'll allow me to die happily
Bypassing the unnecessary stress of trying to resist
That's a boat that I already missed (lit it)

The world's on fire, let it burn x 8

I got some bad news that I wanna share
Our planet's on its last legs and we ain't got a spare
If there's a way to fix it I am not aware
We've reached the point of no return, we ain't got a prayer
They're blowing up each other out in God knows where
God don't care, he moved onto other planets long ago
Left on the low, figured we're no longer worth his trouble
He'll come back when humans kill each other and the earth is rubble
He's better off starting from scratch
Better off pouring gasoline and sparking a match
Better off leaving Earth to the rest of the animals
Probably figured we would be the best of the animals
Probably thought that we would love each other till we're old and wise
Never figured that we would precipitate our own demise
Didn't think we'd be a bunch of bloodthirsty lunatics
Thought we'd evolve past the stupidness (never did)
