Lyrics[]

[Verse 1]
Fire's on the moon
I'm waiting in my room
The bloody sky's on fire

[Verse 2]
No one knows the name
No time to run away
My fault is your desire

[Pre-Chorus]
Ay ay ay!
Gimme me only a reason
To be over the war
We're gonna fight this

[Chorus]
Bad World! Bad World!
No more satisfaction
Without love in the world!
Bad World! Bad World!
I've got no reaction
In my heart, in my soul!

[Verse 3]
Fire's on the moon
I will not play the fool
Just like the stupid liar

[Verse 4]
I won't walk away
A never ending play
This power takes me higher

The chorus of voices after the refrain is a reference to You Spin Me Around (Like A Record) by the British pop band Dead Or Alive.
- This was reused from other Farina's song "Virtual Love" as Mark Farina.
