This song is also totally true. Ask Melinda, she'll tell you.

lyrics

04 Light it Up

Trampling a field of eggshells
Leaving not a screw unturned
Dancing 'til the mines have flashed and flared
Flaunting every scar we earn

Cannot cross the bridge; it's burning
Past the point of no returning

But I don't mind if you don't mind if I don't mind
So, what's there to fight about?

Red coal to the kettle
Light it up, light it up
Hot wire to the metal
Light it up, light it up, yeah

Hillary summits the molehill
He's gonna plant his flag at the top
She's jumping to her own conclusions
without looking for the sudden drop

Stove is on and something's burning
Meeting of the minds adjourning

And you don't care if I don't care if you don't care
Aw, who cares, anyway?

Red coal to the kettle
Light it up, light it up
Blowing fire from the bellows
Light it up, light it up

I don't mind if you don't mind if I don't
You don't care if I don't care if you don't
I won't start if you won't start if I won't start
Who's gonna finish this?

I'm looking for something sweet
But there's blood in the sugar
Blood in the sugar bowl
Something natural from the honey bee
But the flies took the honey
Flies in the honeycomb

Red coal to the kettle
Light it up, light it up
Hot wire to the metal
Light it up, light it up, yeah

Red coal to the kettle
Light it up, light it up
Blowing fire from the bellows
Light it up, light it up, yeah

I won't fight if you won't fight if I won't fight [both]
So, what's there to fight about?
