Lyrics:

[Charles Bradley]
This world
Is going up in flames
And nobody
Wanna take the blame
Don’t tell me
How to live my life
When you
Never felt the pain

(ooo ooo ooo)

[Chorus: Charles Bradley and Menahan Street Band]
(uuuuuh)
Come on babe
(uuuuuh)
They don’t hear me cryin'
(uuuuuh)
They don’t hear me tryin'
(uuuuuh)
They don’t hear me cryin'
For what I gonna do, yeah baby

I can’t turn my head away
Seeing all these things
The world
Is burning up in flames
And nobody
Wanna take the blame

[Bridge: Charles Bradley]
You oh you
You oh you
Me oh me

[Chorus: Charles Bradley and Menahan Street Band]
(uuuuuh)
They don’t hear me cryin
(uuuuuh)
They don’t hear me tryin
(uuuuuh)
Don't stomp on that light

Oh you killin me
Come on babe
Get it right
Gotta be
A better world
Gotta make it baby
Gotta make it right
