[ Featuring Ian Moss ]
Wildfires are burnin' in this town
There's no hope for the future
And no easy way out
They had time on their side
Now their time has all run dry
(?) has long since been gone
Did you think about the people
When you moved your money on?
We used to ride on our bikes
Now there's no money left to buy new tires
They had time on their side
All the while you were sellin' them out
For less than a fair price
They packed up their horses, ready to ride
Flicked a match to light the wildfires
Kids are smokin' dope at twelve years old
And the agriculture bankers cannot keep this town afloat
I've seen boards on the windows on the main street
Now the boredom in the kids' eyes has amazed me
Embers burn and not just localized
Throwin' smoke across the land
And breakin' all the country lines
I've seen spot fires in my backyard
Ain't no campfire troubadours extinguishing the sparks
They had time on their side
All the while you were sellin' them out
For less than a fair price
They packed up their horses, ready to ride
Flicked a match to light the wildfires
They had time on their side
All the while you were sellin' them out
For less than a fair price
They packed up their horses, ready to ride
Flicked a match to light the wildfires
Flicked a match to light the wildfires
Flicked a match to light the wildfires
