Well there’s some high and mighty people
In this big judgemental world
They got morals, to which they must aspire

But these high, mighty people
They find it so distressin’
That everybody’s messin’ with fire

Well you told me lotsa stories
You said, “Look, but do not touch.”
Well, babe we all do things we don’t admire

So don’t sit there and plead with me
Just hush your mouth, take heed of me
Cos everybody’s messin’ with fire

It’s the same kinda hunger, but I guess it’s hard to name
But you’ll know when you start dancing to it’s tune
And it’s true there’s always something, somewhere
Waitin’ to burst into flames
Mrs Holier-Than-Thou, look who’s got the matches now!

See how the people
Are carrying secret dreams
Look at all those hearts out there for hire

Well, look at all those creeping hands
That never learned their lesson
Cos everybody’s messin’ with fire (Haaaaa!)

You know those history books have told us
That since this world began
Oh-so-many fingers have been burned

So who are you to tell me how
To live my life right here and now
Take a good look down this list, baby we’re all arsonists!

They called me Satan’s other child and said I’d burn in hell
But sugarplum I know you’re just a liar
Cos God gave me his blessin’
To keep you people guessin’

But everybody’s messin’ with fire
Cos everybody’s messin’ with fire
Oooh, everybody’s messin’ with fire
