New Lyrics:
Fire Fighting Satire
They Thought There'd Be A Warning Buzzer
I Told Them, But They Said, Zip It Brother.
I'm An Ordinary Boy
They're 'Burning Down' Their House
They Say, 'Wait Til The 'Party's Over'
Too Late, They're In For 'Nasty Weather'
They Were Shown The Only 'Way'
'Burning Down' Their House
Hit The Floor, Drop Your Bag: Time Has Come You've Hit A Snag.
The Fire Engine Is Here.
'Close', But Not Quite Close Enough, The Hell They'll Feel
Will Be Too Much.
'Fire Fighting Satire.'
All Red, No Need For Suntan Lotion.
Not Solved With Any Magic Potion
Six Hundred Sixty Six Degrees
'Burning Down' Their House.
'It Was Once' A Divine Grace, To Hear From Christ And Get A Taste,
Now He's Taking Last Place.
(Hebrews 6:4-6)
People On Their Way To Hell, There Was No Loud Warning Bell?
'Gonna Burst Into Flames'.
Instrumental:
Burning Down Their House
Their Fates Not Extraordinary.
Who Cares?
Was Told, Don't Want To Hear Nobody
No Insurance Knocks Them Off Their Feet.
'Burning Down' Their House.
No Possible Means Of Escape, Haven't Yet Seen The Fire Lake.
All Things Melting Together.
I Don't Know What They Expect, Living Life In Arrogance.
(Pride Comes Before The Fall)
Hell
Fire Satire:
Here's What They Told Me:
Town Crier, We Don't Need To Be Rewired.
(1 John 1:8,9; John 3:16; 2 Cor. 5:17)
Boy That Cries Fire, Keep It To Yerself.
(1 Timothy 4:1-6;2 Timothy 3:16-17)
Mom Don't Want To Feel Their Ire, So She Lets The Kids Misfire.
(Love Rejoices In The Truth)
I'll Get To That After I Finish Building My Donkey Dung Empire
(Luke 12:16-22; Philippians 3:7-16)
If You're Not Willing To Join Our Bon Fire Just Expire.
Reality Is Whatever I Want It To Be.
(Pride Of Life)
If You Believe In Magic Nothing Will Be Tragic.
Everything Is Just Peachy As Long As You Sing In The Church Choir.
(Form Of Godliness)
Boy, Get The Speck Of Sawdust Out Of Your Eye Before You Get The Log Jam Out Of Mine.
(John 7:24: Ephesians 5:11)
End Of Song
"But the day of the Lord will come like a thief.
The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be DESTROYED BY FIRE,
and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare. 11 SINCE EVERYTHING WILL
BE DESTROYED IN THIS WAY, WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE OUGHT YOU TO BE? You ought to live holy and godly lives 12 as you look forward
to the day of God and speed its coming. That day will bring about the DESTRUCTION
OF THE HEAVENS BY FIRE, AND THE ELEMENTS WILL MELT IN THE HEAT." (2 Peter 3)
"Then they will go away to ETERNAL PUNISHMENT, but the righteous to eternal life." (Matthew
25:46)
"This is love for God: to obey his commands. And his commands are not burdensome,
4 for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is
the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. 5 Who is it that overcomes the world? ONLY HE WHO BELIEVES (Trusts,
Relies On, Adheres To) THAT JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD." (1 John 5)

==========================
Man
Silently Watches As Sleeping Family Burns In House During The Holidays.
Story Below:
A Man Silently Watches As House Burns And The Families Inside Lie Asleep. After
Further Investigation It Turns Out That Several Families Were Actually Assembled In The House To Celebrate The Holidays Together.
'It Was 2 A.M. And I Didn't Want To Appear Obnoxious, Presumptious
Or Arrogant' The Man Said When Asked As To Why He Didn't Wake The Sleeping Family.
He Did Say That He Gently Knocked On The Door But Didn't Bang On It Because
Of How It Would Appear To These Families And Neighbors Who Might Call Police Or Firemen Who They Thought Showed Up To Burn
Down Houses Not Put Out Fires.
Come To Find Out The Silent Man Is An Certified Electrician And Had Previously
Warned This Family Of The Impending Danger Of The Grossly Faulty Wiring In The House.
So What Were Their Responses?, This Interviewer Asks.
While I Was In There I Left All Kinds Of Sticky Notes Warning The Younger
Folks Of What The Adults Were Not Telling Them, But One Of The Mothers Kept Picking Up The Notes So They Wouldn't Get Them.
The Adults Said, It Was Disrespectful Of Me To Leave Notes, Bypassing Their Authority.
One Teenager Somehow Still A Fan Of Harry Potter Would Simply Say Abaracadaver
While Running Through The House Thinking That This Would Solve All This Houses Problems, Whatever They Were, While His Mother
Looked On Adoringly.
Another Teenager In The House Would Yell Out Profanities To Me And Say,You
#@%& I've Seen Your Own House And It Needs Fixin Too. Your Doorbell Hasn't Worked Since 2000, So Get The Speck Out
Of Your Eye Before You Try To Get The Log Jam Of An Accident Waiting To Happen Out Of Ours. I Said To Him,
Having A Doorbell That Doesn't Work Is A Far Cry Different Than Having Grossly Faulty Wiring In Yours That Will Burn It Down
And You With It.
But This Teenager Kept Repeating His Mindless Mantra Of 'Judge Not Lest
Ye Be Judged' Not Even Knowing The Context Of That Passage, And 'You're Pathological, You're Pathological' Til He Turned Cross
eyed.
One Of The Girls In Her Twenties Not Realizing How Silly She Sounded Said
'You Have No Right To Say Anything To Us Because You Don't Really Know Us Or Our Situation, Nor Are You Willing To Remain
Our Electrician And Celebrate The Holidays With Us.'
To That All I Could Say Was 'Huh?', Said The Electrician.
If They Won't Heed My Advice Before The Fire, Should I Stick Around And Give
Them More Advice They Won't Listen To, When There Are People Who Will Listen?
Truth Is Relative, Another Said And My Mommy And Relatives Say That Everything
Is Okey Dokey.
We Have A Part Time Electrician In Our Family Who Fixes Television Remotes
And He Says Don't Worry, Be Happy.
Our Uncle From Arizona Says That A House Is A House Is A House And Its All
About What You Think About Your House, Not The Actual State Of It.
Another Uncle Said, We Want To Be Open And Affirming Of All Views During This
Holiday Season...Peace On Earth And Goodwill Toward Men... And I'm Sure There Are Those Out There That Would Disagree With
Your Diagnosis, But Ha, Ha, If The Fire Starts Then We Can Have A Pissing Contest To See Who Can Put The Fire Out The Fastest.
Where Stupidity Is Rewarded
Grandma Comes Out And Says, Oh All That Wiring Stuff Ain't Important, Did
You Go To Church Today?, I Go To the Church Of The Dead In Christ....What Translation Do You Use?
An Aunt Out Of The Blue Walks Up To Me And Asks, Well, What
Are You Gonna Be When You Grow Up?
These Jokers Just Laughed And Thought It Would Be Another Excuse To Invite Their Friends Over For A Barbeque
Or Something.
I Even Got My Wife Involved And They Wouldn't Listen To Her
Either. Then All Of Them Conspired To Ignore Me And Not Say Anything To Me Anymore Because Either They Didn't Have Any Comebacks
Or They Figured That If They Ignored Me I And The Danger Would Go Away.
Somehow, The Families In The House Didn't Die In The Fire But Had Third
Degree Burns On Ninety Percent Of Their Bodies, It Would Have Been Better Had They Died, One Bystander Who Was Playing His
Fiddle Or Guitar At the Time Said, Because Now They Will Spend All Their Days Writhing In Pain.
There Is Good News In All Of This Because This Certified Electrician Did Get
A Commendation From The 'Electricians Of The New World Order', But With A Stern Warning About How He Bothered The Family Prior
To the Fire.
Now If This Story Was True, You Would Think That Any Reasonable Person Would
Have Treated Things Differently, But In The Spiritual Realm People Think We Are Supposed To Approach It Just Like The Idiots
Above.
My Wife Reminded Me Of The Golden Rule Which Says: 'Do Unto Others As You
Would Have Them Do To You' (Bible)
And I Certainly Would Want Someone To Warn Me About The Dangerous Wiring In
My House Or Spiritual Life If There Was A Legitimate Danger, So That Is How I Will Approach Others, Even If I Appear Obnoxious
Or Arrogant In My Attempt To Wake Them Up.
Just As There Are Physical Laws That Cannot Be Violated Without Repercussions,
So There Are Spiritual Laws Which If Violated Have Dangerous And Eternal Repurcussions.
Broad And Easy Is the Road That Leads To Destruction And Many Take That
Path...(Jesus)
These Families Were Responsible For 'Burning Down the House' And Cannot Blame
Anyone But Themselves. Parents Are Told Not To Provoke Their Children To Wrath And I'm Sure That Third Degree Burns On
Ninety Percent Of Their And Their Childrens Bodies Will Provoke Them To Much Wrath. (Ephesians 5)
