Tonight we watch the burning cars shining bright
Was it boredom, isn't the sky enough?
Everything I loved is now leaving me
No photographs can show how it used to be

Wake up the past and tell it to stay away
Bad times are here to stay
Wake up the past and tell it to stay away
Bad times are here to stay
It's just a firefight
It's just a firefight

What can you do when everything turns to dust?
A sign from God replaced what you forgot
What can you do when everything turns to dust?
A sign from God replaced what you forgot

Wake up the past and tell it to stay away
Bad times are here to stay
Wake up the past and tell it to stay away
Bad times are here to stay
It's just a firefight
It's just a firefight

Wake up the past and tell it to stay away
Bad times are here to stay
Wake up the past and tell it to stay away
Bad times are here to stay
It's just a firefight
It's just a firefight
Oh, it's just a firefight
It's just a firefight
