They Took A Vote And Said No

One, two, three
 They took his kids,
 He was right
 They took his ears,
 They took his eyes,
 They said a ride
 Is never free,
 He couldn't hear
 He couldn't see.
 Well there are things
 That have to die
 So other things
 Can stay alive
 The fire burns,
 It burns to give,
 It has to burn, alive,
 To live.
 The other men spoke low;
 They took a vote and said no.
 They turned around real slow
 Where did they go? Where did they go?
 Is the question of the question
 Can the kids shoot their sides?
 If the fire hasn't died, say NO!
 Say NO!
 Say, You don't know what king we serve, boy.
 You don't know what things we employ.
 The other men spoke low;
 They took a vote and said no.
 They turned around real slow
 Where did they go? Where did they go?
 Is the question of the question
 Can the kid keep his eyes?
 If the fire doesn't die
 Can the kid keep his eyes?
 On the question of the question
 Can the kid keep his eyes?
 If the fire doesn't die
 I said be CAREFUL
 Of what you wish for
 Oh be CAREFUL
 Of what you wish for
 And be CAREFUL
 Around the fire-light
 And be CAREFUL
 Around the bright, bright, light
 Cause the fire never dies
 So the kid hurts his eyes
 Oh, that's how it goes, Baby
 That's how it goes, Baby
 That's how it goes, Baby
 That's how it goes.
