Hang down your head, there's nothing that remains
After you're dead you don't even keep your name
You've convinced yourself the book is never wrong
But what you'll find out will shake it to the bone

I saw no fire in your street
Only the stones you've thrown at me
Does it make you feel better?
Well, you know we're all just sinners

Why waste your time swearing to save?
You've got your foot half in the grave
You're just a soapbox preacher
Six feet and head in deeper
Well, can't you see it's better to die on your feet than live down on your knees?

Crowded heart and clouded mind
You won't get what you seek
But if you stop, you will find
We just drop slow off in the sea

I saw no fire in your street
Only the stones you've thrown at me
Does it make you feel better?
Well, you know we're all just sinners

Why waste your time swearing to save?
You've got your foot half in the grave
You're just a soapbox preacher
Six feet and head in deeper
Well, can't you see it's better to die on your feet than live down on your...
Well, can't you see it's better to die on your feet than live down on your knees?
Why can't you see it's better to die on your feet than live down on your knees?

All hell is booked up
And heaven's got no vacancy
I guess that this cruel world ain't got not place for me
We're all stuck in the middle
We're throwing our cash at books of cliches
They say the cost is little
It might work but not for me

(I saw no fire in your streets
Only the stones you've thrown at me)
Cause my soul is not for sale
(Does it make you feel better?
Well, you know we're all just sinners)

(I saw no fire in your street
Only the stones you've thrown at me
Does it make you feel better?
Well, you know we're all just sinners)

I saw no fire
(I saw no fire)
I saw no fire
(I saw no fire)

Well, can't you see it's better to die on your feet than live down on your...
Well, can't you see it's better to die?
I saw no fire
I saw no fire
I saw no fire
I saw no fire
I saw no fire
(I saw no fire, I saw no fire)
