Lyrics The World (Is Going Up In Flames) - Charles Bradley , Menahan Street Band

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

Oh, oh, oh, oooh
Come on babe oooh
They don't hear me cry oooh
They don't hear me try oooh
They don't hear me cry
For what I gonna do

Yeah baby, oh I

I can't turn my head away (oh no, no, no)
Seeing all these things
The world
Is burning up in flames (burning up, burning up)
And nobody
Wanna take the blame (wanna take the blame)

Is it you, oh you (oh no)
You (no, no) oh you (oh no)
Me, oh me

Ooh they don't hear me cry
Ooh they don't hear me try
Ooh don't stomp on that light
Ooh, oh

It's killing me
Oh babe (oh baby)
Come on babe, get it right (oh baby)

Gotta be
A better world (oh baby)
Gotta make it baby
Gotta make it right (oh baby)
