Fighting with fire

He wants to keep in contact
He wants to buy the things he doesn't understand
He wants all the credit
He wants the rights to the soul of every man

I'm not above him but I want to go
Down below the surface where he lives

Fighting with fire
Money's the only thing he has

He wants to get down to business
It's a long way down
But he'll go the extra mile
I wonder when all this started
Who left him empty hearted when he was a child
