Code red!
It’s hotter than the Fourth of July
Code red!
I seen the fireworks burn in the sky
Code red!
I seen the monument melt like a candle
Code red!
Even my door knob was too hot to handle
Code red!
They say the rivers are turning to lava
Code red!
The weather man said we won’t see tommara’
Code red!
I still can’t believe what I saw
Code red!
it’s too hot to be breaking the law
Code red!
I seen a fire truck burn like a leaf
Code red!
They suffocated and it was too hot to grieve
Code red!
Even the dogs and cats are dying
Code red!
It’s so hot that they’re deep frying
Code red!
The Titanic didn’t sink, it burned
Code red!
But it don’t matter, it’s too hot to learn
Code red!
While I’m writing, my hands are on fire
Code red!
Stop talking, ‘cause you’s a liar
Code red!
Even the truth will burn today
Code red!
Even the truth will burn away
Code red!
it don’t matter when it’s a thousand degrees
Code red!
The forest fires just killed thousands of trees
Code red!
The oceans just evaporated
Code red!
Most of my city is decapitated
Code red!
It’s hotter than the Fourth of July
Code red!
I even seen the devil burn in the sky
Code red!
Now Jupiter and Mars is turning
Code red!
As the universe and world keeps BURNING.
