Putting Out Fires Songtext
von Jonathan Kluth

Why do we raise the dead, digging up skeletons
Nothing ever really gets laid to rest
Why do we drop anchor in such troubled waters
It′s getting harder to be your friend

On and on we go like paper, scissors, stone
You know how to push my buttons for sure
On and on we go just reaping what we sow
I don't want to play this game no more

I′m getting tired of putting out fires
I'm getting tired of putting out fires
I'm getting out, gonna let it go up in smoke

When did we start reacting, just firing off empty phrases
Nothing ever really gets talked about
What was a conversation is now a stony silence
Awkwardness is the only sound


On and on we go like paper, scissors, stone
You know how to push my buttons for sure
On and on we go just reaping what we sow
I don′t want to play this game no more

I′m getting tired of putting out fires
I'm getting tired of putting out fires
I′m getting out, gonna let it go up in smoke
I'm getting tired of putting out fires
I′m getting tired of putting out fires
I'm getting out, gonna let it go up in smoke

With friends like these who needs enemies
And if you have nothing good to say
You′d better say nothing, say nothing
Say nothing, say nothing

I'm getting tired of putting out fires
I'm getting tired of putting out fires
I′m getting out, gonna let it go up in smoke
