Our House (The Mess We Made) - You Me At Six

I look around me

And everyone’s a no-show

I made the call but

People saw the smoke

No, we haven’t got time to

Be puttin' out fires that we didn’t start

You look light

But I know you have a heavy heart

They say:

Tell me why should I care,

About the people that I,

Have never met?

They don’t have my back

So answer, why should I,

Have any of theirs?

Because our house is on fire

Our house is on fire

Our house is on fire and no one cares

Our house is on fire

Prophets with problems

Smart mouths don’t wanna solve them

Nobody can tell me

That we got a plan B worth hearing

When I dream of outer space (dream of outer space)

I wonder what they’re thinking

When they look down and see (look down and see)

That the earth is bleeding

The kids have taken the streets

They ain’t missin' a beat

They want their futures back

When the leaders can’t lead

We all look to a Swede

Who speaks the most sense to me

Maybe finally it’s time

For us to draw a line

In the mess we made

Because our house is on fire

Our house is on fire (nobody knows)

Our house is on fire and no one cares

Our house is on fire (nobody knows)

Our house is on fire

Our house is on fire (nobody knows)

Our house is on fire and no one cares

Our house is on fire

Why should we,

Care about people,

We have never met?

Why should we,

Care about people,

We have never met?

Why should we,

Care about people,

We will never meet?

Because:

The kids have taken the streets

They ain’t missin' a beat

They want their futures back

So don’t go getting cold feet

Now’s not the time to sleep

Now’s not the time for sleep

Because our house is on fire (nobody knows)

Our house is on fire (nobody knows)

Our house is on fire and no one cares

Our house is on fire

Our house is on fire (nobody knows)

Our house is on fire (nobody knows)

Our house is on fire and no one cares

Our house is on fire (and nobody knows)
