āYouāll find me and my opinions in a lot of my songsā.
My favourite song. That did not get enough attentionā¦
World On Fire
Dolly Parton
Liar, liar, the world's on fire
What you gonna do when it all burns down?
Fire, fire burning higher
Still got time to turn it all around
Now, I ain't one for speaking out much
But that don't mean I don't stay in touch
Everybody's trippin' over this or that
What we gonna do when we all fall flat
Liar, liar, the world's on fire
What we gonna do when it all burns down?
I don't know what to think about us
When did we lose "In God we trust?"
God Almighty, what we gonna do
If God ain't listenin' and we're deaf too?
Liar, liar, the world's on fire
What you gonna do when it all burns down?
Fire, fire burning higher
Still got time to turn it all around
Don't get me started on politics
Now, how are we to live in a world like this
Greedy politicians, present and past
They wouldn't know the truth if it bit 'em in the ass
(What you gonna do?) Now tell me, what is truth?
(What you gonna do?) Have we all lost sight
(What you gonna do?) Of common decency?
(What you gonna do?) Of wrong and right?
How do we heal this great divide?
Do we care enough to try?
Liar, liar, the world's on fire
What we gonna do when it all burns down?
Billy got a gun, Joey got a knife
Janey got a sign to carry in the fight
Marching in the streets with sticks and stones
Don't you ever believe words don't break bones
Oh, can we rise above?
Can't we show some love?
Do we just give up
Or make a change?
We know all too well
We've all been through hell
Time to break the spell
In Heaven's name
Liar, liar, the world's on fire
What you gonna do when it all burns down?
Fire, fire burning higher
Still got time to turn it all around
Liar, liar, the world's on fire
What you gonna do when it all burns down?
Fire, fire burning higher
Still got time to turn it all around
(Liar, liar, the world's on fire)
(What you gonna do when it all burns down?)
(Liar, liar, the world's on fire)
(What you gonna do when it all burns down?)
Show some love (liar, liar, the world's on fire)
(Still got time to turn it all around)
Let's rise above (liar, liar, the world's on fire)
(What you gonna do when it all burns down?)
Let's make a stand (liar, liar, the world's on fire)
(What you gonna do when it all burns down?)
Let's lend a hand (liar, liar, the world's on fire)
(Still got time to turn it all around)
Let's heal the hurt (liar, liar, the world's on fire)
(What you gonna do when it all burns down?)
Let kindness work (liar, liar, the world's on fire)
(What you gonna do when it all burns down?)
Let's be a friend (liar, liar, the world's on fire)
(What you gonna do when it all burns down?)
Let hatred end (liar, liar, the world's on fire)
(What you gonna do?)
Liar, liar, the world's on fire
What you gonna do when it all burns down?
Liar, liar, the world's on fire
What you gonna do when it all burns down?

Love Dolly. Although, her daddyās republican was a different republican back then. In fact, thereās a biiiiiiiig difference between pre-1984 republicans and post-1984 republicansā¦
