Charles Bradley - The World (Is Going Up In Flames) Lyrics






This world is going up in flames
And nobody is gonna to take the blame
Don't tell me how to live my life
When you never felt the pain

Oh, oh, oh
Ooh, come on, baby
Ooh, they don't hear me cry
Ooh, they don't hear me chime
Ooh, they don't hear me cry
So what I'm gonna do?
Yeah, baby

I can't turn my head away, seein' on these things
The world is burning up in flames
And nobody wanna take the blame
Is it you? Or you? You? Or you?
Me? Or me?

Ooh, they don't hear me cry
Ooh, they don't hear me chime
Ooh, so stop all that lying

Ooh, oh, you killing me, oh baby, come on, baby
Get it right, gotta lead a better road
Gotta make it, baby
Gotta make it right, uh

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah baby

    Pain of walking the streets bummy.. I feel this. I'm ok now.
    Not happy still but living more comfortable trying x22 more than the next man

    P.... H....

    It's been years since I last heard this. Maybe 6/7years. Sipping this Hennessy somehow got me to search the title. Hope everyone has a good end of the year. Truly blessed to be reading and commenting online to the broader spectrum of the world

  2. A.... H....

    When emotions can sing

  3. R.... B....

    Rest easy Charles. You had a tough life. Thank you for some excellent music. Tragic he did not get the attention and recognition he deserved

  4. r.... b....

    Mr.bradley live in the biclyshop?

  5. G.... P....

    Imagine the feeling of privilege it must have been to perform in a band with this kind of talent.

  6. D.... K....

  7. J.... V....

    One of KEXP best! Is it possible to get this full KEXP session complete???in full video..?? prepared to pay for this genius performance. ...

  8. T.... ....

  9. W.... A....

    I hope he has found a little peace now... RIP Charles Bradley

    This world
    Is going up in flames
    And nobody
    Wanna take the blame
    Don't tell me
    How to live my life
    When you
    Never felt the pain
    Oh, oh, oh
    Come on babe
    They don't hear me cry
    They don't hear me try
    They don't hear me cry
    For what I gonna do, yeah baby
    I can't turn my head away
    Seeing all these things
    The world
    Is burning up in flames
    And nobody
    Wanna take the blame
    You oh you
    You oh you
    Me oh me
    They don't hear me cry
    They don't hear me try
    Don't stomp on that light
    It's killing me
    Oh babe
    Come on babe, get it right
    Gotta be
    A better world
    Gotta make it baby
    Gotta make it right
    Ooh
    Yeah, yeah, yeah baby, aha aha, oh baby

    Oh dude oh godn oh shit o Satan... this is GREAT!

  12. J.... ....

    Yes Charlie, it is!

  13. B.... C....

    He is an amazing musician, when he sings it’s straight from the heart. This song made me a fan. He sings with such conviction and the music is obviously inspired by 60s/70s artists like Curtis Mayfield and James Brown, it just captures the sound and essence of the music from that time so well. Charles Bradley is living proof that music isn’t dead, there’s still hope.

    B.... C....

    "Charles Bradley is living proof that music isn't dead".
    Charles Bradley died 2 years ago.

    B.... C....
