Put Out The Fire
by Say What?

lyrics by: Tricky Downbeat

something's burning, I smell smoke
the flames are risin' and it's no joke
I got a bad sinking feeling that it's out of control
and if I want it to go I gotta let you know
the times have changed a lot since the middle of last week
we can no longer be meek
it's too far gone to fix up in a song
but we can give no rights to those that are wrong

no excuses, the Bible rebukes it
if ya wanna battle that ya gonna take some bruises
'cuz we ain't playin' what we're sayin'
is straight from the word of God, ya better pay
attention to God when He says
loud and clear in the book of Leviticus
if a man lies with a man like with a woman
he will surely be put to death

Put out the fire
Put it out or you're gonna burn

thanks a lot for the H.I.V
and ya don't take credit for it naturally
but we ain't stupid, we know what you did
ya took another man and you played cupid
now the world's suffering thanks to your sin
innocent men and women, even children
it ought to be enough to wake you up to your crime
but instead ya put a bucket up and drop in a dime

shoutin' out that they want their rights
don't want discrimination against their type
so they make it an issue, please give me a tissue
I got no sympathy, I just wish you
would think about it for a moment in time
sayin' uncontrollable desires aren't a crime
they're sayin' they got dissed
while they're raisin' their gay fist
what's next - equal rights for rapists?

it's a good thing we're not livin' in the old times
you'd be in trouble unless ya had nine lives
but now we got this thing called forgiveness
I suggest you look up and get this
God doesn't want anyone of you to burn
neither do I that's why I show concern
He says it in the Bible from beginning to the end
we gotta love the sinner gotta hate the sin


Lev 18:22; Lev 20:13; Rom 1:27; 1 Cor 6:9 & 10; 1 Tim 1:9 & 10
