Fire in the Hole Songtext
von Exuma

Fire in the hole! Fire in the hole! Fire in the hole!

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 ... [?]
... [?] any promise 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!
