Fire In The Hole - EXUMa

There’s fire

Fire in the hole

It’s a people explosion

Of human emotion

You know there is fire

Fire in the hole

It’s a people explosion

All over this land

You may be able to kill somebody dead

You may be able to bust your head

But you can’t kill emotion

You can’t kill human emotion

You know there is fire

Fire in the hole

It’s a people explosion

All over this land

Hey Mr. Man

All the people up against the wall

They’re gonna shake your marble castle

It’s gonna crumble and fall down

On the ground there’s fire

Fire in the hole

It’s a people explosion

All over this land

Fire (fire)

Fire (fire)

Fire (fire)

Fire (fire)

Fire (fire)

Fire (fire)

Fire (fire)

Nanana nana, nana nana, nana nana

Nana nana, nana nana, nana nana

Yesterday I saw God

Walking and talking with the milkman

Last week I saw the devil

Walking hand in hand with the president

Jacob’s ladder was down on the ground

All God’s people were going down

God watching …

The goodness that he promised had been long delayed

Black was black and white was white

All God’s people were uptight

Everybody doing round

Ain’t nobody doing right

Woman, woman, yeah

Woman, woman

Woman, woman, oh mama

Woman, woman

There’s fire

Fire in the hole

It’s a people’s explosion

Of the human emotion

Oh, there’s fire

Fire in the hole

It’s a people explosion

All over this land

Now a dynamite explosion

Will cause a land erosion, oh yes it will

But a people’s explosion is filled with human emotion

And you can’t, you can’t kill the people, no

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, you can’t kill an idea, an emotion

There’s fire all over this land

Fire (fire)

Fire (fire)

Fire (fire)

Nanana nana, nana nana, nana nana

Nana nana, nana nana, nana nana, oh yeah

You can’t build a nation on bloodshed

And expect the blood not to stain the land

You can’t build a nation on bloodshed

And expect the blood not to stain the land

You can’t right for so many

You can’t right for so few

You can’t have a lot of people living high on the house

And have another people living like dirty dogs

You can’t throw the people little bones

While the rich live in their ivory steephole

Oh, fire, fire, fire, fire fire in the hole

Fire, fire fire in the hole (fire)

My woman, my

Take the people’s hand

Open up your big food bin, let the people in

To have your coffers overrunning like that while the people are starving it’s a

sin

Let my brothers and my sisters come on in

Your food’s gonna flow over, gonna bust your building down

Gonna tear your building down to ground

The people are that wheels that run your cars

The people is the bodies for your cause

The people, everything, everything

People brought you your strength, they fight your wars

They told me they ain’t fighting no wars no more

And this is for their own salvation, to help their degradation

Remember when you were fighting for your independence

You said that you were right, right, right, day and night

Dying don’t mean nothinhg

Dying is living, and living is dying, just across the river

Ain’t nobody afraid of dying no more

It’s better to be dead than to live running scared

It’s better to be dead than to live running scared

Fire in the hole!

Fire in the hole!

Fire in the hole!

Aw!
