Fight Fire with Fire Lyrics
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Do unto others as they've done to you
But what the hell is this world coming to?
Blow the universe into nothingness
Nuclear warfare shall lay us to rest
[Chorus]
Fight fire with fire
Ending is near
Fight fire with fire

Bursting with fear
[Outro]
Fight fire with fire, fight fire with fire
Fight fire with fire, fight fire with fire
Fight fire with fire, fight fire with fire
Fight fire with fire, fight fire with fire, fight
