[Lyric] Feeding the FIre (Michael Gleason)

One small persuasion turns the mind
Led down the path and left behind
Create a clamor for the big lies
Grasping at straws to win
Too late to recognize the lies
And the fool becomes the victim again

Are you feeding the fire?
And fanning the flame
Running the numbers
And staking a claim (staking a claim)
When its down to the wire, there'll be no one to blame
And you can't take it with you (can't take it with you)
No you can't take it with you (can't take it with you)
Oh, no you can't take it with you

No doubt it's a very high price and the rule of an iron hand
Cry out from the grip of the vice, for the more they gave the more they demand

Are you feeding the fire?
And fanning the flame
Running the numbers
And staking a claim (staking a claim)
When its down to the wire, there'll be no one to blame
And you can't take it with you (can't take it with you)
No you can't take it with you (can't take it with you)
Oh, no you can't take it with you
Sometimes the winners are losers and the beggars are choosers
And its a pail and a well between the sane man's thoughts and the vanity of the proud

Are you feeding the fire?
And fanning the flame
Running the numbers
And staking a claim (staking a claim)
When its down to the wire, there'll be no one to blame
And you can't take it with you (can't take it with you)
No you can't take it with you (can't take it with you)
Oh, no you can't take it with you
